◆ "The reason you're prone to injuries is because you rely too much on your upper body." "If you start from the bottom, you'll create gaps."

On the 5th, Orix Buffaloes win Seibu Lions 3-1. Fourth batter Tomoya Mori hit a timely single in the 6th inning, recording RBI for the second consecutive game.

Responding to Mori's performance in the cleanup spot for the second consecutive game, Tsutomu Iwamoto, MC of Fuji TV ONE's "Pro baseball News 2026" broadcast on the 5th, said, "He's been firmly in the cleanup spot in this series, and today he got a timely hit, and in the previous game Home Run. Mori's bat is important for Orix Buffaloes." Commentator Kenichi Tanizawa analyzed, "Looking at Mori's swing lately, he's using his lower body very well. He used to overswing a bit with his upper body, but now he twists his hips with his lower body and connects it to his upper body. I think the stability of his lower body is what makes Mori's hitting so good right now."

Furthermore, when Iwamoto pointed out, "He's hitter swings with full force, so he's a bit prone to injuries, but he seems to be in good form right now," Tanizawa explained, "The reason he's prone to injuries is because he relies too much on his upper body. If he starts from the bottom and connects it to his upper body, it creates a better connection." Iwamoto summarized by saying, "So, it means he's working well in coordination with his body."
