On April 10, 2022, Rōki Sasaki of the Chiba Lotte Marines of Nippon Professional Baseball's (NPB) Pacific League threw a perfect game against the Orix Buffaloes at Zozo Marine Stadium in Chiba City. It was the 17th perfect game in NPB history, as recognised by international standards (the 2007 Japan Series Game 5 perfect game, the 16th in NPB history, is not recognised by NPB because it was a combined perfect game, but is internationally recognised as a perfect game). Sasaki tied a NPB single-game record with 19 strikeouts and set an NPB record with 13 consecutive strikeouts.
