Rakuten Eagles Hideto Asamura infielder held a training session in Okinawa Prefecture on November 11. He practiced knocking and hitting hard. He said, "My goal is to keep playing in games one more time. I'm doing this training because I want to improve my performance first.

Last season, he achieved several milestone records, including 2,000 Home Run hit, and 2,000 games played. However, he only played in 96 games, with a batting average of .239, 34 RBI, and 9 Home Run, which was a disappointing performance. His consecutive game appearance streak also came to an end at 1,346 games. Having struggled through the season, he is determined to make a comeback. "I believe I can still do more, so I always have that feeling that this is not all. I have a new spirit of taking on new challenges, so I will prepare thoroughly and make the most of this period," he said, expressing his determination.
