Hiroki Nomura, who appeared on "Pro baseball News 2026" broadcast on Fuji TV ONE on the 16th, commented on Seibu Lions 's Shinya Hasegawa.

Nomura said, "Speaking of The Lions, Kuwahara has also joined from DeNA, so the competition outfielder including foreign players, is getting fierce. To have come this far and achieved these results is a strong showing. He's a player who can be a regular. I think he's giving manager Nishiguchi a tough time."

Although registered outfielder, Hasegawa has also played first baseman in exhibition games, and has appeared in 13 games so far, recording a batting average of .355, Home Run, and 4 RBI.
