Joint training for professional baseball and Lotte new players began on the 10th, and pitcher Riku Kikuchi, who joined the team in first place in the draft, moved his body while receiving guidance from his coach.
Lotte's joint voluntary training for new players began in Saitama City on the 10th, and all nine players, including pitchers Kikuchi, who joined from Senshu University, participated.
In the practice that started in the morning, the players stretched and ran to loosen up their bodies, and then worked up a sweat with light menus such as catch ball under the guidance of their coaches.
Pitcher Kikuchi, who participated in the practice, said, "There were some players who were nervous, but I think I was able to get used to it and practice with enthusiasm. I want to prepare to fight through the season."
Coach Yoshii Rihito, who saw the new players, said, "Everyone is doing well and looking forward to it. First of all, I want them to take their time to regain their sense of good times."
