Umeno suddenly approaches Oshiro Taku
On the 12th, the Nippon Professional Baseball Organization (NPB) updated the fan voting interim announcement for the “Mynavi All Star Game 2023”. In the Central League, catcher Ryutaro Umeno of the Hanshin Tigers is about 3,000 votes behind giants catcher Takuzo Oshiro. From the 9th, there was a difference of around 15,000 votes, but it was close immediately.
Outfielder Shogo Akiyama of Hiroshima finished second in the outfielder category in the Central League fan vote. In the catchers division, Taku Oshiro and Umeno competed with a close margin, and in the other divisions, all Hanshin teams were selected as the top. Fan votes have made “conquer” a reality.
In addition, Orix pitcher Yoshitoshi Hirano overtook Softbank pitcher Roberto Osuna again in the Pacific League pitcher division, and it has become a “battle zone” with a difference of about 1200 votes.
