On the 26th, Orix Buffaloes 's second-round draft pick, pitcher Haruki Mori (18) of Osaka Toin High School, cited "overcoming quick pitches" as the key to his professional career. During the rookie joint training camp in Maishima, Osaka, he entered bullpen for the first time since turning pro. Even during the training phase, he threw 20 pitches to a standing catcher, incorporating quick pitches, which he said he "does all the time."

"There are people who lose ball speed when it comes to quick, and I think it's important to have a pitch after the runner comes out, and it's also my challenge." When not winding up, the fastball with a maximum speed of 153 km is Hanshin Tigers ・ Fujikawa's active days recorded 2700 revolutions. It can be used as a weapon if it can maintain its power even in situations where runner is forced to pitch quickly.

On the same day, No. 1 Fujikawa (Nobeoka Gakuen) and No. 3 Sato Ryu (Kendai Takasaki) also entered bullpen. The rookie joint voluntary training will begin on the 27th, and the Miyazaki camp will begin on February 1st. Moriyo said with emphasis, "There are no particular problems with my physical condition. I would like to get used to mound little by little." (Nambu Shunta)
