Rakuten Eagles outfielder Daisuke Nakashima (24) revealed the voluntary training he has been doing in Okinawa Prefecture up until the 14th. He is practicing batting practice and hitting with Ogō and Ito Yutaka. "I'm working on the theme of building a physique that will allow me to continue fighting all year," he said.

In his second season last year, he established himself as a regular in outfield, reaching the required number of at-bats for the first time and enjoying a breakthrough season with a batting average of .266, six Home Run, 31 RBI, and 22 stolen base.

Considering last season, he pointed out that breaking balls are an issue in terms of breaking ball. "I still need to adapt to breaking ball, and when I did adapt to breaking ball, I couldn't hit fastballs. I'm trying to figure out what to do about that through trial and error, starting with batting practice," he said emphatically.

The competition for outfield position is fierce, but he has no intention of losing. "I want to surpass last year. I want to make this year one in which I can surpass who I was last year," he said, showing his determination.
