This season, the strength of the batting game is shining, and in September, he hit a reverse three-run home run from 2 outs in the 9th inning against Lotte, which was competing for the championship, leading the team to a direct confrontation 3 consecutive wins for the first time in 25 years. Contributed greatly to the league championship.
On the 17th, in the Japan Series, which will start on the 20th of this month, we practiced batting at Kyocera Dome Osaka, the home of the first and second rounds.
T-Okada showed how well he was doing, such as hitting a number of balls over the fence of Wright.
After the practice, T-Okada said, "I wish I could be the best in Japan as a result, so I'd like to make good preparations so that I can fight each game with all my strength. It's been a year of growing as a team including myself. I think the Japan Series is not the culmination of that, but I want to show a solid proof of growth. "
