Orix Buffaloes lost 4-1 lose 2 to Rakuten Eagles on the 27th against (Kyocera D Osaka). Starting pitcher Jerry threw 73 pitches during the third inning, 8 hit, 2 strike out, 3 fours, Hit by Pitch 8 runs and couldn't get into the game. Shohei Tateyama, who appeared as a commentator on CS Fuji TV ONE's 'Pro baseball News 2026' broadcast on the 27th, said, "I'm throwing all kinds of pitches into the strike zone..." I don't have fastball, so I two seam fastball, cut, fork, but the batters are actively hitting it. Rather than the ball landing in the corner or where I'm positioned, it feels like I'm casually throwing into the zone. I think that's where I haven't been able to overlap June, July, and August, inning," he said. Commentator Hatsuhiko Tsuji recalled Jerry's pitch, saying, "The ball is high. Also, the rhythm and tempo come together."

Furthermore, when the program MC Hiroki Nomura said, "Rather than both height and location, if at least one of them isn't off, it leads to this kind of result, doesn't it?" Mr. Tateyama advised, "I think he is a pitcher who, if anything, needs to keep his height consistent. If he doesn't throw there properly, I think it will be quite difficult to turn his performance around."
