"Monday Pate-tele Iki" was started with the desire to create time for professional baseball and Pacific League fans to enjoy even on Mondays when there are few games. In the third episode, Ryota Igarashi and T-Okada appeared and announced the players who are expected to break out this year.

In the "Serious Predictions for the Championship" corner early in the show, the two had the exact same predictions, and Igarashi said, "I'd hate it if we overlap again... Let's not overlap," before mentioning Tohoku Rakuten 's Soyama, to which T-Okada replied with a smile, "We overlap!" Okada praised Okada's batting, saying, "defense evaluations have been leading the evaluation, but he's also been getting results in the training camp and exhibition games. He has good bat control. This batting in his first year after graduating from university shows he has a sense for it," and expressed his expectations for further growth in the future, saying, "He's a player who still has a lot of room to grow."

Igarashi nodded and said, "The average speed of a professional's ball is different (compared to an amateur's), so it's difficult to keep up with it. But still, Muneyama has been producing solid results so far."
