Sounds like a sensible idea. However, I'm not sure if you can reserve seats at the TISCO Travel Information Center at the airport. You may still have to go to a JR station to reserve seats.

Three or four people are arriving on NH2145 (20:05) and two people on JL3057 (21:35) on Thursday. If anyone is on these flights and planning to join welcome drinks or the yatai crawl, they may like to share a cab to the Grand Hyatt. It should cost about 1550-1750 yen.
We'll get there as soon as we can...please wait for us before you go yatai crawling.

I'm not sure if anyone else is a baseball fan, but I plan to head to the only game going on over the time of the FUK DO which is on Thursday, April 2nd at 1800: http://bis.npb.or.jp/eng/2015/games/gm20150402.html
If anyone wants more details or wants to meet up ahead of time let me now. I land at 1515 and will first check into the GH and then head out.If you've never been to a Japanese baseball game it is an awesome experience.

They are available online. I will check on making reservations and see about sitting us together. What is your budget? My family will be with me so if you don't want to be around kids you might not want to sit with us! It should be a great time!

I don't really mind children, the noise in the stadium will be loud anyway :-).
No problem with paying a bit extra for a decent seat, I think I saw they range from something like $40-65. No problem with that (or whatever it takes), only the reservation fees that I found were a bit ridiculois. That's probably because I used an English language site.
