On the 8th, Tsuji Hatsuhiko, who appeared on "Pro baseball News 2026" broadcast on Fuji TV ONE, commented on Seibu Lions Takeya Nakamura, who got his first hit of the season.

The 42-year-old veteran Nakamura, in his 25th professional season, who had been promoted to the first team for the first time this season the day before, started as DH in the fifth spot in starting line-up against Softbank Hawks that day. In his third at-bat in the 7th inning with one out and no runner on base, he hit slider thrown by Taiga Kamichatani on a 3-ball, 1-strike to left field for his first hit of the season. This extended Nakamura's hit to 24 consecutive years.

Tsuji said, "I finally got my first hit of the season. There was slider coming, so it was a bit of a sweet spot, but I hit it well."
