Professional baseball pitcher Kohei Arihara entered the bullpen for the first time at the Miyazaki camp on the 7th. Manager Yuki Kokubo has declared that he will be included in the opening rotation of Softbank's professional baseball team.

The 31-year-old pitcher joined SoftBank from the Major Leagues last season and led the team in wins with 10. He said, ``I would like to be the starting pitcher, but it's not my decision to make. I just want to think about being in good condition''
