Nippon-Ham ‘Kota Tatsu started against Lotte on the 18th. He pitched for the longest time since he became a pro, 7 innings, giving up 2 hit, 8 strike out 2 Walk no runs.
Masaki Saito, commentator for Fuji TV ONE’s “Professional baseball News 2025” broadcast on the 18th, praised Tatsuya’s pitch, saying, “His biggest appeal is his height and the angle he can throw, but today he was fantastic, throwing a struck out fork, fork to get strike, and a forkball to get strikeouts.”
Emoto Masanori speculated, “I thought fork often dropped on a windy day like this.The ball tends to go off the hook, so I think he was probably being careful while pitching it,” while Iwamoto Tsutomu gave high praise, saying, “It was a strikeout that reminded me of Roki Sasaki’s perfect game.”
