Lotte concluded its Miyakonojo autumn camp on the 15th.

The fall camp that began on October 30th became a grueling schedule of five days of training followed by one day off. Even after individual practice ended, many fielders, including Ryusei Ogawa, Kota Inoue, Ko Matsukawa, Ryusei Terachi, and Yuya Sakurai, continued hitting at the Pie no Mi Dome until past 6:00 PM.

On this final day, starting from the afternoon, the players split into groups for special batting practice at Koala's March Stadium and special defense practice at Pie no Mi Dome and Coolish bullpen. They swung their bats for over three hours and worked up a sweat during defense drills. Even on this last day, the players pushed themselves to the limit with intense training.

On this final day for the pitchers, five players—Ryotaro Mori, Hayate Miyazaki, Yuto Yoshikawa, Kaishu Takahashi, and Ryota Takeuchi—entered the bullpen.

After all practice sessions were completed, the fall camp was concluded with a ceremonial one-clap salute led by Ryusei Terachi.

We were blessed with good weather and had no injuries, so I believe we were able to spend a very productive time. Even with the new practice sessions we introduced under the theme of complexity, the players faced the challenges head-on while thinking for themselves. We pursued both quantity and quality, and found enjoyment even within the rigor. I think this camp achieved those goals to a certain extent. Since there is still some time before spring, I want each individual to work on their own specific themes.
