On January 21, Lotte's Tatsuhiro Tamura catcher (31) and Toshiya Sato catcher (27) revealed their training sessions in Kamogawa, Chiba. （She is about four months old. She is adorable. I really want to go home (laughs). That's how cute she is.

This marks the third year of his voluntary training in Kamogawa, Chiba. This time, in addition to previous members such as Tamura, Sato, former Lotte player Taiga Hirasawa Hirazawa (Seibu Lions), and Kei Mizukami (Rakuten Eagles), Lotte's junior Konoshin Tomiyama is also participating. Sato also welcomed his first child, a son, in October of last year, making them "classmates" as fathers. The conversation often turns to children, he said, "He rolls over so quickly, he's faster than my son. We show each other videos, it's fun," revealing that he finds relaxation through "dad talk." He went on to confess, "I was so lonely that I went back home," and smiled, "I'd go and see him after practice and come back at night."

Tamura played in only 18 games last season, hitting one Home Run, three RBI, and a batting average of .158, which was a disappointing season. Looking ahead to his 14th year, he expressed his fighting spirit, saying, "I think this is truly a crucial year. It's my 14th year as a pro, but I feel a sense of crisis more than anything. In that sense, my biggest feeling is that I can't take it easy." He is training hard, determined to make a comeback.
