Director Tadahito Iguchi of professional baseball Lotte inspected the players who are conducting voluntary training locally before the spring camp on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, which starts on February 1.
Lotte coach Iguchi entered Ishigaki Island on the 30th, and in the morning on the 31st, he observed the players doing their own training after having a general meeting.
After that, Director Iguchi, who responded to the interview, said, "At the meeting, I often lost in the game of one point difference last year, so I talked about how everyone can get one point and how to protect it. I want to do my best to send a good camp on Ishigaki Island in order to win the championship. "
This time, the camp was closed to no spectators as local medical care became tight due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection.
At Lotte, team members such as athletes and staff do not go out unnecessarily, and we continue to make adjustments at the camp while undergoing PCR tests about once a week.
Director Iguchi said, "I am allowed to camp on Ishigaki Island in a situation where I am really under pressure in many ways. I want to spend the camp with all possible measures."
