On the CS Fuji TV ONE program "Pro baseball News 2026" aired on the 8th, Tomoya Mori who had a great performance with 2 hit, 3 RBI, and 2 Home Run, was featured. The program's MC, Motonobu Tanishige, said, "He hits well when he's in good physical condition," and commentator Hatsuhiko Tsuji reflected on Mori's at-bat, saying, "Last year he had leg pain and wasn't in good physical condition. But after seeing his second home run, he seems to be in top form. He was able to hit the ball in front of him without opening his shoulder, or rather, he was able to hit it off without opening his shoulder... Tomoya Mori must be in good form."

Toshiaki Imae, who also appeared as a commentator, said, "If the number of long hits increases like this, he is a batter who is originally in hitter the lead, so if his approach improves, it will be a scary batting line again."
