Professional baseball team DeNA held its first practice game at the camp held in Okinawa. 20-year-old pitcher Hosuke Fukazawa, who was selected as the starting pitcher, pitched two innings without giving up any runs.
DeNA pitcher Shota Imanaga, who had a total of 64 wins including winning the title for most strikeouts last season, was transferred to the Cubs of the Major Leagues. Takateru Watarai, who joined the team in first place in the draft from ENEOS, an adult baseball team, made a no-hitter in only two at-bats.
