Pitcher Natsuki Takeuchi joined the team in first place in the draft and is aiming to join the starting rotation. Pitcher Takeuchi's goal during the camp is to improve the accuracy of each pitch so that he can compete with all types of pitches.
Manager Kazuo Matsui, who inspected the bullpen, commented that the pitches were of good quality and had good angles. The catcher was Yuto Koga, a third-year player who played in a team-leading 100 games last year.
