Kenji Tomashino, who appeared on "Pro baseball News 2026" broadcast on Fuji TV ONE on the 12th, commented on Nippon-Ham Tatsuki Mizuno.

In the game against the Chunichi on the same day, with the score tied 1–1 in the fifth inning with one out and a runner on first, Yua Tamiya hit a double stolen base to put runners in scoring position. Mizuno then delivered the game-winning RBI single triple to left field off Yuya Yanagi. This was Mizuno’s third triple of the season; he also hit seven triple last season, the second-most in the league.

Tomashino praised him, saying, "He may be small in stature, but he has power and punching ability," and the show's MC, Motonobu Tanishige, called out, "Let's all call him Mr. Triple."
