Akio Saito, who appeared on "Pro baseball News 2026" broadcast on Fuji TV ONE on the 2nd, commented on Softbank Hawks second-round draft pick, Ryuta Inagawa.

Saito said, "This pitcher also throws from the top, has a small takeback, and the ball comes out easily. This pitcher also looks good enough to be a starter.

Inagawa made a relief appearance in an exhibition game against Seibu Lions on the 1st, throwing just 9 pitches for one inning, delivering a perfect relief performance.
