Shohei Tateyama, who appeared on "Professional baseball News 2026" broadcast on Fuji TV ONE on the 16th, mentioned Softbank Hawks 's Toshiya Nakamura.

Tateyama commented, "Softbank Hawks has a deep roster, but he also has about 100 games of experience with Lotte, so I hope he can refresh his mind in his new environment and seize his position. He has the ability to do so."

Toshiya Nakamura played for Lotte until last season, where he mainly played as a long relief pitcher. He was transferred to Softbank Hawks in the active player draft this season and is hoping to secure a position in the first team.
