Takahiro Saeki and Tomotaka Sakaguchi, who appeared on "Pro baseball News 2026" broadcast on Fuji TV ONE on the 20th, commented on Softbank Hawks 's Kensuke Kondo.

Kondo had a spectacular performance in the game against Nippon-Ham that day, going 3 hit 3 with 2 Home Run and 7 RBI, contributing to his team's win. This brought Kondo's batting average to .300, third in the league, his 15 Home Run runs, tied for second in the league, and his 49 RBI, also second in the league.

Saeki praised Kondo, saying, "He's in top form and uses his body very well. He's driven by his lower body, and the ball stays on the bat for a very long time. He's a really good batter." Sakaguchi was also surprised, saying, "From the moment he lifted his leg, it looked like Kondo had the timing, and pitcher was right there in front of him. His waiting and preparation made it seem like he could handle any pitch. I felt like he was on a different level."
