Seiji Kobayashi since 2020: .118/.144/.167, .311 OPS, -1.5 WAR
Takumi Ohshiro since 2020: .256/.319/.382, .701 OPS, 10.7 WAR (Also 20 DRS last year)

Takumi Ohshiro getting replaced by Seiji Kobayashi in the 7th inning confirms that Shinnosuke Abe views Kobayashi as a superior defender over Ohshiro.
Reminder that Ohshiro had +20 DRS last year, threw out 37% of runners, and was a top 3 framer in NPB (data from SIS & Delta).
