◆Preseason game: Lotte vs. Softbank (8th, ZOZO)

　ソフトバンク・上沢直之投手が４回を５３球、３安打１失点で３度目の実戦を終えた。最速は１４６キロ。３三振を奪った。気温７度のマウンドだったが「この条件、気温の中でもスピードは出ていた。ポップフライもあった。いい時はポップフライが多いので」と課題としていた直球に納得。開幕に向けて「完璧ではないけど、道のりが見えてきた。継続して、体に染みこませていきたい」と前を向いた。

　前回の登板は１日の練習試合・西武戦（宮崎アイビー）で２回０／３を１０安打７失点。最速１４３キロで「課題は明確。強い直球を投げること」と語っていたが、この日は１４０キロ台中盤の直球が目立った。
