Hiroki Nomura and Kenji Tomashino, who appeared on the program Professional baseball News 2026 broadcast on Fuji TV ONE on the 8th, mentioned the Seibu Lions' foreign fielder in preparation for the CS first baseman stage.

Nomura predicted regarding Nevin, 'Since he has been declining a bit toward the end of the season, I think the key will be how to use Nevin in a short series. It will depend on the on-base percentage of the first and second batters, but looking back on this season, The Lions surged after Nevin was promoted in May. I believe Nevin's performance will directly impact The Lions' scoring ability.'

Mr. Tomoshino said, "Both foreign players, Nevin and Canario. For The Lions this year, the performance of foreign players has been the key point. Since Nevin has come up, they should want to take this kind of approach even in a short-term series."

Nevin appeared in 103 games, recording a .265 batting average, 21 Home Runs, and 48 RBI, while Canario appeared in 133 games, recording a .247 batting average, 16 Home Runs, and 54 RBI.
