Toshiaki Imae, who appeared on "Pro baseball News 2026" broadcast on Fuji TV ONE on the 22nd, commented on Rakuten Eagles 's Naoki Sato 's base running in that day's game Seibu Lions.

With the score 5-6 in the 9th inning with one out and a runner on third, Hideto Asamura grounded out to second baseman and runner Sato went straight for home plate without hesitation and stepped into the game-tying home.

Mr. Imae commented, “We started with a gamble at third base runner, and that was the one run that The Eagles fought tooth and nail to secure.”
