Rakuten Eagles Eagles pitcher Kenta Maeda entered bullpen for the third time on the 6th at the Kinbu training camp. He threw 31 pitches, including fastballs, two seam fastball, and curveballs.

Regarding his fastball reaching 148 km/h, he said with satisfaction, "I put a lot of effort into throwing it, and I'm glad that the numbers came out, and it's reassuring to know that I can get numbers like that at this stage." He will continue to train smoothly in his return to Japan for the first time in 11 years.
