Professional baseball player Softbank's spring training camp had its first day off on the 5th. Five rookies, including pitcher Yugo Maeda, who was ranked first in the draft, are in Miyazaki City.

The five students wore the same jackets and hats as the students and experienced maneuvering using a training device called a flight simulator. Pitcher Maeda said, ``I thought the jacket was cool. It was my first time to be in the cockpit, and I thought it was more difficult than in the simulator because there were more buttons.''
