On the 4th, Softbank Hawks held the final day of the first training camp in Miyazaki, and conducted a time attack in the 400-meter dash.

The time limit was 65 seconds, which means that they would run 100 meters in about 16 seconds. If they couldn't finish within the time limit, they had to run another one. While some athletes commented, "There was a strange sense of tension...", the first to run was the players' association president, Kurihara, who cleared the test in the 59-second range. One after the other, the others beat the set time, and everyone passed on the first try. Manager Kokubo also watched with a smile, saying, "Everyone cleared it."
