◆ Batting average of .474 in the last 6 games! "It's good because there's absolutely no sense of strain," he said.

On the 3rd, Lotte defeated Seibu Lions 10-0. Atsuki Tomosugi, who started as the "number 7 batter and shortstop," hit a timely RBI single for the second consecutive game.

The "fearless number 7" has been hitting well at the plate with a batting average of .474 (9 out of 19) in the last 6 games. On the Fuji TV ONE program "Pro baseball News 2026" aired on the 3rd, MC Tsutomu Iwamoto said, "He's been hitting long balls to both the left and the right today," while commentator Yosuke Hiraishi analyzed the reasons for his good form, saying, "First of all, once he starts his swing from his stance, he's ready to swing in an instant, so his preparation is incredibly fast. Another thing is that when he sets up, there's a lot of space, so the grip of the bat doesn't go behind his back at all. There's a lot of space for the bat to pass through, which is very good. Also, there's absolutely no sense of force in his swing, which is good."
