Kenji Tomashino, who appeared on "Pro baseball News 2026" broadcast on Fuji TV ONE on the 6th, commented on the moment when Seibu Lions 's Chihiro Sumida executed squeeze play in the game against Chunichi that day.

With no outs and runners on second and third in the 7th inning, 4-2, Sumida of pitcher made a squeeze beside pitcher on the second pitch from 1 strike and third base runner and Hasegawa came home.

Tomashino praised Hasegawa, saying, "Hasegawa, the third runner who followed the safety squeeze was also brilliant. If the sign had been given in advance, he would have prepared, but getting a good start on a bunt without a sign was a fine play by the third runner."
