On the program "Pro baseball News 2026" broadcast on Fuji TV ONE on the 2nd, Hatsuhiko Tsuji commented on Softbank Hawks Hotaka Yamakawa, who hit a Home Run in that day's game Rakuten Eagles, his hit in 32 at-bats.

Yamakawa, batting first with two outs in the 0-0 second inning, hit the second slider pitch Ureña threw from 1 strike and got a ground out to third base. Nevertheless, in the next at bat, with one out and no outs runner in the 4-0 4th inning, Ureña hit slider, the fifth pitch he threw from 2 strike to left-center field for his No. 6 solo shot.

Tsuji, showing concern for Yamakawa after Home Run, said, "He was smiling, but I think he was crying inside." He continued, "There was that ground ball to third base in his previous at-bat, and he looked very good there, the atmosphere was great. I've been watching him the whole time, so I can tell by how he lets the ball go, and I thought that ground ball to third base was a good hit." It seems there were good signs in his previous at-bat.
