Lotte's Shuta Takano who is currently training on his own in Nagasaki City, released a comment through the team on the 18th.
Takano said enthusiastically, "Everything is going very well. I've been pitching since the end of last season in order to maintain my pitching feel, so I feel really good right now. I want to get everything in shape by the start of camp and give it my all from the first day of camp."
