Chikao Ikeda, who appeared on "Pro baseball News 2026" broadcast on Fuji TV ONE on the 4th, commented on Ryo Ota Orix Buffaloes Buffaloes.

Ota was removed from the first-team roster on May 22, but returned on June 2. doble in the game against The Giants that same day, and then started as the cleanup hitter and first baseman in the game against starting line-up The Giants on June 3, where he had two hit and one RBI.

Ikeda said, "When he becomes the central figure, when he starts hitting well, Orix Buffaloes is strong. Their timing has been bad, but with Ota back, he's a batter that will be unstoppable once he starts hitting. He can hit home run and is clutch, so this is where it will start."
