Akihiko Oya, who appeared on the “Pro baseball News 2026” program broadcast on Fuji TV ONE on the 25th, commented on Softbank Hawks and Ryosuke Otsu, who started in the game against the Seibu Lions.

Otsu had held Seibu Lions lineup to just two runs through five innings, but in the sixth inning, with Walk score 6-2, he walked the bases loaded hit Canario and Seiya Watanabe consecutively, and then gave up a hit to Kojima Taiga Kojima, loading the bases. He then gave up a timely hit to Nakami Yuta and was removed from the game. Hernandez, who came in to relieve him, also runs, so Otsu pitched 5 1/3 innings, threw 90 pitches, hit 6 strike out 0, BB allowed 6 runs.

Oya reflected, "My teammates scored runs for me, but I don't think I was able to control the ball as I wanted. The young batters from Seibu Lions were hitting the balls that were easy to hit and were coming down the middle, and they were able to string together hits. In the 6th inning, I unusually gave up two Walk. I think that's what caused me to get anxious."
