 On June 17, Shūhei hit his first pro home run, the winner, at the Kyocera Dome off the pitching of then Orix Buffaloes righty, Hayato Terahara.He became the youngest drafted high school hitter to achieve the feat at 18 years, 4 months old and the first high school rookie to hit a homer for the Dragons since Masahiko Morino in 1997 and 8th overall.It was also only the second time that a maiden homer by a high school rookie became the winning run, the last time being by Morimichi Takagi in 1960.
