Hideo Nomo is visiting the professional baseball team Lotte's camp on Ishigaki Island. Nomo inspected the pitchers in the bullpen and gave advice on things like how to grip a forkball.

After pitching, pitcher Dykstra would run up to Nomo to ask for advice and learn how to hold a fork. Riku Yokoyama, a side thrower who last year was selected to represent Japan in an international match centered on young players, showed excellent pitching at the camp.
