On June 15, Masashi Yamamoto, GG Sato, and T-Okada appeared on the "Going to Patere on Mondays" segment of the Persol Pacific League TV official YouTube channel, Kaima Taira pitcher and he spoke highly of the pitch.

Taira pitcher of the Saitama Seibu Lions has pitched in 10 games so far this season, posting a 5-1 record and a league-leading ERA of 0.82. When GG Sato asked, “I’d like to ask Masashi how he views Taira pitcher,” Yamamoto immediately replied, “He’s an incredibly good pitcher.”"He was unstoppable even as a reliever, but he’s more than capable as a starter too," he said, praising him highly.

pitch Furthermore, while watching footage from the game against Hiroshima on the 11th—where he pitched 6 innings, allowing 1 run hit and 1 hit runs to record win pitcher—he analyzed, “Normally, even if you throw a fork from that elbow position, it doesn’t drop much, but it’s amazing that he has the technique to make it drop like that. His fastball has good movement too. Since his elbow position isn’t that high, his fastball has good extension and a lot of spin.”

He continued, praising him by saying, “If he keeps pitching like this, I think he’s pitcher capable of racking up just as many wins in the majors,” to which T-Okada nodded, adding, “I’ve faced him a few times, but his timing is tough to read.”
