On the 9th, CS Fuji TV ONE’s “Professional baseball News” drew attention to Tatsuki Mizuno who has recorded a batting average of .450 in the five games since his return. He also showed his prowess on the day, including scoring a run with a hit to right field. Commentator Shohei Tateyama praised Mizuno’s batting, saying, “hitter is back. Even in a competition that seems to have been snatched away, I get the impression that a player who is a cut above the rest has returned.”
Fellow commentator Saeki Takahiro commented on his return from injury, saying, “He returned with an injured pivot foot. When you injure your pivot foot, your batting often falls apart. What I think most is that he has made good adjustments in that area. And he has produced results and reclaimed his position. I think he has performed brilliantly.”
