On the 17th, Nippon-Ham won the third game of the final stage of the 2025 Persol Climax Series Pacific League against Softbank with a score of 6-0, bringing their record against the league to 1 win and 3 losses, including the advantage.
The same day’s broadcast of CS Fuji TV ONE’s “Professional baseball News” focused on Shu Yamagata, who hit a solo Home Run in the seventh inning to add another point. MC Tanishige Motonobu said, “He seems more like a defense player, but he also hit two home runs in a row against Moinelo, so he’s hitting against ace-level players.”
Commentator Akio Saito gave him a high evaluation, saying, “He never misses a high ball. He swings well and it feels like he’s hitting the ball into the stands. He seems like a batter who is very determined and can make decisions.”
Fellow commentator Oya Akihiko commented, “When such a bold player comes on the scene in a short-term battle, he can do a great job, so it’s very reliable.He can do something that you would never expect.”
