Home run in the last at-bat of the final game → tied for first place… For the first time in history, a free agent transfer appears to have won two awards: ‘1st in home runs + 1st in RBIs + 2nd in batting’

In the final game of the season, in the last at-bat of the 9th inning, a dramatic home run was hit, becoming the number one home run hit.

Kensuke Kondo of the Japanese professional baseball Softbank Hawks hit a home run in his last at-bat of the regular season, moving up to a tie for first place in home runs. Although the batting title was lost, he finished the regular season ranked first in RBIs and first in home runs.

Kondo, who attempted to win three batting crowns, started as the designated hitter No. 4 in the game against Orix held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan on the 9th.

Kondo, who was challenging the Triple Crown (batting, home runs, RBI), had to have at least one home run and 3 hits in 3 at-bats on this day to be first in batting and first in home runs. The RBI was first, two behind second place.

Kondo came out as the leadoff hitter in the second inning and got on base with a walk, and in the fourth inning with two outs and runners on first base, he retired with a fly ball to left field. He struck out on a swing in the 7th inning with 1 out and runners on first base. I couldn’t even hit a single hit, let alone a home run.

Kondo, who came to bat after one out in the 9th inning, swung Yamaoka’s first pitch fastball (146 km) like a thunderbolt and launched a solo home run that went over the left field fence. It was a home run that hit at a dramatic moment.스포츠토토

With his 26th home run of the season, he became tied for first place in home runs in the Pacific League along with Eito Asamura (Rakuten) and Polanco (Chiba Lotte). After the game, Kondo said about the home run in his last at-bat, “I was aiming for it to some extent. “I was happy to see the best results,” he said.

Kondo finished the last game of the season with 1 hit in 3 at-bats, 1 home run, and 1 RBI. His performance this season was that he played in all 143 games and had a batting average of .300, 26 home runs, 87 RBI, 75 runs, and an OPS of .959.

In terms of batting, they are in second place, 4 leagues behind first place Orix Tonggu Yuma (3.77 league goals). He is tied for first place in home runs and ranks first in RBIs with 87, beating out teammate Yanagita (85). Asamura is third with 78 RBI, and Polanco is fourth with 75 RBI. The RBI king is a strong possibility.

The home run crown depends on the results of Asamura and Polanco in the Rakuten-Chiba Lotte game, the final league game on the 10th.

Japanese media Sponichi Annex reported on the 9th, “Kondo completed the regular season schedule with the possibility of winning two awards remaining. He said, “Since Nobuhiko Matsunaka (Die) in 2004, he has not been able to become the 9th person in history to win 3 gold medals in 19 years, but if he wins 2 gold medals after moving to FA, it will be the first great feat in history.”

The media added, “Atsuki Inaba, who moved to Nippon Ham as a free agent in 2005, won two titles in batting average and most hits in 2007, but this is the first time she has won two awards in three batting categories.”

Kondo said, “When I moved here, I always thought about winning. It’s a shame he couldn’t win. “I think we will definitely have good numbers after next year,” he said.

Softbank lost 1-4 to Orix on this day, confirming its advancement to the Climax Series, but the ranking has not been determined. If Chiba Lotte wins in the Rakuten-Chiba Lotte match on the 10th, Softbank will be in 3rd place, and if Rakuten wins, it will be in 2nd place.
