The joint voluntary training for new professional baseball and Yakult players has reached the final day of the 29th. Pitcher Yasunobu Okukawa, the first draft, has forgotten the practice of throwing due to slight inflammation of his right elbow.

The joint voluntary training for new Yakult players, which had been held in Toda City, Saitama since July 7, was the final day of the 29th, with all six players including Okukawa pitching.
Due to slight inflammation of his right elbow, Okukawa had forgotten to practice throwing from this month, and after stretching carefully, he sweated for about two hours, checking the pitching action by shadow pitching.
Okukawa said that he worked on a menu that trains his core during the joint voluntary training, saying, "I have a bit of a desire to throw, but it is important not to be impatient. I looked back.

Satoshi Kashibuchi, Scout Group Desk, said that the timing of resuming throwing exercises, such as catching balls, was "I heard that the check items have been cleared considerably. I think we'll start with that. "
