Professional baseball spring camp 12 teams start all at once

Spring camp for professional baseball will start from the 1st to 12 teams all at once.

For the time being, in order to prevent infection with the new coronavirus, the camp will be an unusual camp with thorough measures such as regular PCR tests for athletes without spectators.

This year, 8 teams will start camp in Okinawa prefecture and 4 teams will start camp in Miyazaki prefecture.

On the 31st of last month, Softbank, which won the number one spot in Japan for four consecutive years, and giants who won the league title for two consecutive years entered the campsite one after another, but welcomed at the airport, which is an annual event to prevent infection. The ceremony was not held.

At the request of Okinawa and Miyazaki prefectures, the 12 teams will camp without spectators until both the state of emergency issued by both prefectures and the government's state of emergency are lifted. ..

In addition, all team members including athletes entered the campsite after undergoing a PCR test in advance and confirming a negative result.

Also, during the camp period, we take regular inspections and refrain from eating out about once a week to thoroughly prevent infection.

Rakuten Masahiro Tanaka pitcher to attract attention in the eight years of Japanese baseball return is expected to join the prospect the middle of the camp.
