◆ Pacific League Softbank 4-3 Seibu (5th, Mizuho PayPay)

Seibu The fourth year player Shinnosuke Hada pitcher of the "K" team marked 159 km/h on the 5th, the fastest among Japanese left-handers regular season in the first team.

Haneda took to the mound as the third pitcher in the seventh inning with the score at 3-4. With two outs after struck out against Yamamoto and a swinging struck out, he threw a fastball on the third pitch with count at 0-1, which was recorded as 159 km/h on the stadium's ball speed display. Haneda also recorded a 159 km/h speed in the game against Nippon-Ham on June 27 (Belluna Dome).

In farm games, Yuto Furuya pitcher (Softbank) once marked 160 km/h, but in the NPB's first team regular season, Haneda's 159 km/h is the fastest by a Japanese left-hander. The left fielder, who said that his fastest in the farm was 158 km/h, said, "I want to see more of the same. This year, I will aim for 160 kilograms, and beyond that, I will aim even higher," he declared emphatically.
