On Persol Pacific League TV's official YouTube, the second collaboration video with Furuta's equation [Atsuya Furuta official channel] is being released. The second installment was realized in response to the great response to the collaboration video released in May this year. This time, as in the previous article, the "Fine Play Deliberation Committee" is strictly deliberating on whether the plays that are generally considered fine plays are "true fine plays" in the eyes of defense masters, based on the play footage of Pacific League of the 2025 season.

Each of the five "deliberation committee members" evaluates each play on a scale of 0-3 points, and the total score determines "NOT Fine Play" (0-8 points), "Fine Play" (9-11 points), and "Super Fine Play" (12-15 points). In the outfield defense (2), a number of super fine plays were born, but one of the perfect evaluations was the good catch of the Orix Buffaloes Keita Nakagawa player.

The Orix Buffaloes vs. Hiroshima game held on June 4th, the top of the 6th inning with 1 out and no runner. The big ball hit by No. 4 player No. 4 No. 1 No. 1 No. 4 flew backwards center fielder. Nakagawa of center fielder jumped catch while crashing into wall. It was a truly "super fine play" that nipped the pinch in the bud.

Yukifumi Okada, who said that he was working at outfield defense while being conscious of the distance between him and wall during his active career, said, "There is no waste. After catching it, I hit the wall, and I have the distance to the wall in my head."

Sho Nakata also said, "I look behind me while chasing (the ball), and at that time, I think I immediately input a sense of distance to wall in my head, so I can hit wall it directly after jumping. If we haven't been able to check that, it could lead to a serious accident, so I think it's a very courageous play," he said, emphasizing the importance of instantly grasping the surrounding situation.
