On the 16th, CS Fuji TV ONE's "Professional baseball News 2025" featured starting Masaru Fujii, who finally earned his first win of the season in his sixth start of the season.

Tomotaka Sakaguchi, who appeared as a commentator on the day's pitch, said, "I think he was the hardest to pitch, but he is a pitcher who can pitch tenaciously and tighten up key points like this.

Oya Akihiko, who also appeared as a commentator, expressed his expectations for his next appearance on the mound, saying, "He's pitcher with tenacity, but 98 pitches in five innings today is still a little too many. Once he gets a little more used to it, I think he'll be able to pitch more boldly. I think he's taken a step forward."
