On May 25, Motonobu Tanishige and Tomoya Satosaki appeared on "Mondays also go to Patere" on the official YouTube channel of PERSOL Pacific League TV to talk about Yuudai Yamamoto, who joined the team from Yokohama DeNA in a trade on May 12.

After appearing in 8 games since his transfer, Yudai Yamamoto has already made his presence felt with his hitting with a .333 batting average and 1 Home Run. A viewer asked a question to the effect of how he will perform as a catcher. In response, he said, "I have a track record and experience. However, I think there are a lot of things he doesn't know, so it will be a little tough, but Yudai will do well," said Tanishige, who has confidence in him.

Meanwhile, Mr. Satosaki said, "There is a possibility that Yamamoto will have a strong start from here," looking ahead to the exchange games starting tomorrow. He is looking forward to the interleague games, where his experience will be put to good use, especially the matchup with his old team, Yokohama DeNA.

When asked if it would be difficult for him to start a game the day after moving to Yokohama, Tanishige immediately responded, "I think it's great, it's tough," to which Satosaki agreed, "Even if you learn the signs, you don't know the trajectory. Mr. Satozaki also shared the same opinion, "It's not as easy as many people think. It's not as easy as many people think. Even at all-star events, it's difficult for first-timers. slider But there are various slider," he said, describing the difficulties that catcher presents.
