Rakuten Eagles 's 12 rookie players are currently conducting joint voluntary training overseas.

This is the first time the team has conducted joint voluntary training for rookies overseas, and it is scheduled to begin on the 10th and run until the 22nd.

First-round draft pitcher Satoshi Fujiwara (22) from Hanazono University, who was late in moving into the dormitory due to poor health, also participated without incident. "I started late, but I think things have been going well so far. The environment is different from Japan, but I've been able to concentrate and train with my classmates. I'll do my best in the upcoming joint voluntary training so that I can make a strong impression from the start of camp," he commented.
