On the 10th, the new players for the Chiba Lotte Marines toured Zozo Marine Stadium.

First-round draft pick Genki Ishigaki (Kenta Takasaki High School) visited the home stadium, Zozo Marine Stadium, for the first time and smiled, saying, "Seeing it in person, it's really huge, and I can't wait to pitch in this stadium. I'm looking forward to pitching in front of a huge crowd."

Regarding mound, he said, "It was really soft, and it was my favorite kind of mound." As for his impression of the Lotte cheering section, he said, "I really think it's the best cheering section in all 12 teams, so I think it's amazing."

Marine Stadium is famous for its strong winds. During his student days, he revealed, "I've never pitched in a windy stadium. This is the first time." He also reassured us by saying, "I want to concentrate on the batter, so I don't mind the wind."

Lotte's new player announcement will be held on the 11th.
