Takahiro Saeki, who appeared on "Pro baseball News 2026" broadcast on Fuji TV ONE on the 16th, commented on Rakuten Eagles 's new foreign player, McCusker.
Saeki commented, "I was really impressed by the power and impact of his batting," and analyzed, "I think opposing pitcher would have a hard time having this player batting lower in the order."
He added, "The Eagles' home stadium will also be smaller," and then said, "I wouldn't like it if I were batting 6th or 7th."
