Softbank, a professional baseball team aiming to be the best in Japan for five consecutive years, launched a spring camp in Miyazaki City for about a month on the 26th.
Softbank's spring camp has been held in Miyazaki City since the 1st of this month without any spectators.
On the 26th, the last day of the camp, unfortunately it rained and the athletes sweated for about 3 hours in the indoor practice area.
Of these, Shuta Ishikawa, who has been selected as the opening pitcher, made light adjustments with catch balls.
In addition, head coach Hiroki Kokubo, who has been working to improve the fielder's striking power, has asked for "1000 swings a day" during the camp.
On the 26th, head coach Kokubo enthusiastically coached the players while gesturing.
At the end, Akira Nakamura, the player's chairman, stood in the center of the circle and called out, "I would like to thank Miyazaki City for accepting the camp even in the corona storm. Like last year, I will fight every day to win the league and become the best in Japan." After tightening my hands, I launched a camp that lasted about a month.
Director Kimiyasu Kudo said, "I was sad that I couldn't camp with the fans, but the players are almost finished. There are some main players who haven't returned from the rehabilitation team, but I will continue to build up my strength. I want to. "
