Pitcher Yuito Mori, who has newly joined the professional baseball team DeNA, entered the bullpen for the second time at the camp being held in Ginowan City, Okinawa Prefecture, and threw a powerful ball.
Pitcher Mori has achieved great results as a reliever, making a total of 127 saves in his 10 years with Softbank, and winning the title for most saves, but after the end of last season, he was no longer active and was no longer a starter for the newly joined DeNA.

Last year, he was in the bullpen from the first day at Softbank's camp, where he was a member, but he injured the adductor muscle in his right leg, so he is making careful adjustments at this year's camp in his new field. That's it.
Pitcher Mori said, ``I'm doing well because I was able to throw well while being conscious of the balance of my form.I want to increase the number of pitches from the second season and also throw breaking balls and make adjustments.'' .
