Softbank Hawks The three members of the S squad Yuki Yanagita outfielder, Hotaka Yamakawa infielder, and Kenta Imamiya infielder who were left to make adjustments joined the Miyazaki camp. The 37-year-old veteran is in the final year of a seven-year contract and this season will be a milestone for him. I'm doing this with the feeling that it may be my last, and I want to give it my all. I think that's where I stand. This camp may be the last, and of course I will do it with the feeling that it may be the last for the season as well.

Yanagita has been doing joint voluntary training with Nippon-Ham pitcher Kiyomiya and others in Saiki City, Oita Prefecture, and since February has been practicing at the farm facility in Chikugo.
