Softbank Hawks started their second training session on the 6th. From this day onwards, they will be in Group S (joining on the 14th as a rule), and Taisei Makihara who will be playing for the Japanese national team in the WBC, joined the team. They performed a separate warm-up menu.
Also, on the final day of the first training session on the 4th, Otsu, who avoided bullpen due to poor condition of his left leg, appeared in the warm-up, while Sasagawa was absent due to poor health.
