Tomotaka Sakaguchi, who appeared on "Pro baseball News 2026" broadcast on Fuji TV ONE on the 9th, commented on Nippon-Ham Fighters' pitcher staff.

Sakaguchi said, "We have many starting pitcher, and our relief pitcher are also solid. If we can find young pitcher who can pitch at full pitcher in between, the quality will be high. This is a team with pitcher staff that I'm looking forward to."

Nippon-Ham has a strong starting rotation with ace pitchers like Hiromi Ito, Kohei Arihara, Koki Kitayama Kitayama, and Kota Tatsu, and a solid bullpen including Seigi Tanaka and Yukiya Saito. If young pitcher emerge to join them, their depth will increase even further.
