Rakuten Eagles manager Hajime Miki spoke to reporters at the team's lodgings in Okinawa on the 31st, announcing that the theme of the Kin Town training camp, which begins on February 1st, will be "challenge." He said, "We'll train hard. It's a challenge to continue what we've been doing, and to be strong and new at the same time. I think each player has their own goals, and I hope they can do their best without being afraid to take on new challenges. I want to make this a training camp like that."
Last offseason, the team acquired Kenta Maeda pitcher, who has 165 wins in Japan and the United States. Regarding the right-hander, who is expected to be part of the starting lineup, he said, "He looked really good on his new team and back in Japan, and I hope he will adjust well. I think they have their own way of doing things, so I will do my best to support them.
