Kazutomo Miyamoto, who served as a commentator for the Nippon Broadcasting System Show Up Nighter The Giants Nippon-Ham broadcast on the 19th, commented on Nippon-Ham who are currently leading Pacific League.
Miyamoto commented, “Nippon-Ham Fighters have hit the most home run baseball year out of the 12 teams, so they are the most attractive team.”
For the game The Giants on the same day, the team made an order that changed starting line-up except for Chusei Mannami and Daigo Kamikawahata, and started on the bench with Reyes and Kotaro Kiyomiya, who had three hit in the game against The Giants on the 18th. Miyamoto said, “The fact that they can change the members so much shows that they have a deep player base. I think that’s impressive.”
レイエス、清宮がベンチスタートとなったが、スタメン出場した選手たちが躍動。宮本氏は「個々の選手が自分の色を出していますよね。隙がないです、今日の日本ハムは。チーム内で競争させている感じがありますよね。ガラッとスタメンを変えて、そこでよーしというね、そういった活気があるんでしょうね。相乗効果でみんなでレベルが上がっていく」と評価していた。
