a lead-off batter "Tsuyoshi Nishioka #7"

the next player is Tsuyoshi Nishioka.  he was a player of Marines until 2010.  after that, he played in the major leagues in 2011 and 2012.  this year, he came back to Japan and joined Tigers.  in this year, he played as a lead-off batter in almost all games.

 

 

 

this year, his batting record is not so good.  we expect he will be active like 2010's season, which he hit 206 hits.

a golden rookie "Shintaro Fujinami #19"

the next player is Shintaro Fujinami.  he is 19 years old now!!  last year, he got drafted as a first-round draft pick by Buffalos,Swallows,Marines and Tigers.  and Tigers win the draft lottery.

 

 

this year, he made 10 wins.  some newspaper say he may throw in next year's opening game.  I expect he makes wins as many as possible.



the captain "Takashi Toritanu #1"

the next player is Takashi Toritani.  his position is a shortstop.  he throws right and bats left.  he is a captain of Tigers.  he was also elected the member of the National team for World Baseball Classic in 2013.  he won the Best Nine and Golden Glove prizes in 2011.

these years, his hitting record is not so good, but he makes a lot of base on balls.  so his play makes the team winning!!
