Tomotaka Sakaguchi, who appeared on 'Professional baseball News 2026' broadcast on Fuji TV ONE on the 5th, mentioned Osuna of the Softbank Hawks.

Mr. Sakaguchi evaluated him, saying, "There were times when he struggled a bit, but since this player was originally a pitcher who served as a closer, it was reassuring to have him step in during the 6th or 7th inning, or in any tight situation when we were in trouble."

Osuna has served as the closer since joining the Softbank Hawks in 2023, recording over 20 saves for two consecutive years, but this season he primarily pitched in the 7th inning of winning games, appearing in 46 games with 2 wins, 2 losses, 23 holds, 0 saves, and an ERA of 2.58.
