Chunichi's professional baseball spring camp in Chatan Town, Okinawa Prefecture is on its third day. Yuki Okabayashi is working on learning a new form with the aim of winning the batting title for the first time in two years.
Last season, he won the Best Nine and the Golden Glove Award for the second year in a row. As the team expects him to play an active role as a central player, his uniform number has been changed from "60" to "1"
