Nagoya Bantherin Dome on the 1st. He went 8-3 against the Chunichi Dragons. He started three consecutive away games against Chunichi on the weekend. I have a very good memory in Chunichi. On May 18, he hit his second three-run home run of the season against Chunichi left-hander Takahiro Matsuba. He hit a home run after 13 consecutive hits. Matsuba started against Yomiuri on the 1st.
He stepped down as a blunder for four consecutive at-bats. He hit a fly ball to center field in the second inning and struck out a rookie in the fifth inning. He struck out catcher Paul Fly in the seventh inning and swung and missed in the ninth inning. No hits in four at-bats, two strikeouts. The three at-bats in the 2, 5th and 7th innings were the result of Matsuba.
He hit his fourth at-bat in the ninth inning with two outs and a runner on first base. The bat went out on the fork ball coming in one bound. I stood like an out-count maker and came in.
The slump deepens in the slump. 1 for 12 against Chunichi in the last three consecutive games. He struck out five without a walk. On the first day of the three consecutive games, he hit left-handed in the fifth inning and had no hit in 10 consecutive at-bats. He went 0-for-4 for two consecutive days.
Yomiuri signed Richard, a former member of SoftBank, on May 12. Promising prospect Yuto Akihiro (22) and left-hander Ryusei Oe (26) were brought intable border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">

From the beginning, there would have been no expectation that Richard would fill the gap in the fourth batter. He was a five-time home run king, mostly playing in the second division. This is the result of his performance in the second division. It was not the first team's strength in Softbank, which has a strong player base.
Yomiuri would have hoped Richard, who is in good power, would burst his potential in a different atmosphere. Immediately after joining the Yomiuri Giants, Richard started the first team game and reported his first home run. He seemed to live up to his expectations by hitting two hits against the Hiroshima Carp on May 13. He hit 10 home runs in the first team in his previous team, and he hit two home runs in a week after his transfer. However, it did not continue to have a good flow.
He moved to the Yomiuri Giants and played in 13 games. 4-for-35 batting average of .114. Two of four hits are home runs and four RBIs. He struck out 16 in 37 at-bats. The on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) is 0.448 and the scoring batting average is 0.111. It is a mysterious performance that remains in the first team.
It opened in the first team of Softbank. He failed to take advantage of the opportunity at the beginning of the season and fell to the second division. He recorded a batting average of 0.091 (2 hits in 22 at-bats) without a home run and RBI, and his first-team registration was canceled. The transfer didn't change his baseball career very soon. At this point, yes. Recently, Japanese media reported that Yomiuri is pursuing an additional trade. Orix Buffaloes or Seibu Lions dropped a middle pitcher and wrote that they are considering recruiting a fielder
