Naonori Yasuda, who mainly played third until last season, is seriously trying to play first this season. Yasuda participated in 122 games as a regular in the third team last season.
He has been the strongest in the game so far, such as hitting a walk-off home run in the climax series. This season, the leaders want to invigorate competition within the team, and they are making a full-fledged challenge to the first team, which they only kept for 14 games last year.
