Seibu Lions pitcher Kaima Taira (26) participated in autumn training held at Belluna Dome in Tokorozawa City, Saitama on the 28th.

After warming up, he adjusted by playing catch. He is currently in the process of increasing his weight, which is around 100 kilograms, and noted, "While I am gaining weight, I am checking whether my pelvis can move as agilely as usual when I throw and if my rib cage is rotating properly. I want to continue working while making my physical frame a bit heavier."

Regarding a move to the U.S. Major Leagues via the posting system this off-season, he explained the current situation, saying, 'I haven't done anything yet. It's just a matter of when the club decides to move. I'm waiting for that. Conversations with my agent will only start after the application is filed, so I'm just waiting to see when that happens.' He plans to continue his training at the team's facilities in Tokorozawa City, Saitama.
