Softbank Hawks ・ Yuki Yanagita outfielder who missed the send-off game with Samurai Japan (San Marin) on the 23rd due to neck pain, showed that they are fully fit on the 28th. It was the first day of the final camp in Miyazaki. Yanagida, who did not participate in the Taiwan tour due to his neck condition, worked out in high spirits.

During his individual training, he practiced long teeing. He hit from the side of the first base bench, repeatedly hitting balls over the fence. He even hit a home run over the right field stands and out of the stadium, swinging so hard that he said, "I'm tired." He said his neck is now "fine!" and appears to be in good condition. He plans to return to the field in the exhibition game against Yakult (March 3rd, Mizuho PayPay) after returning to Fukuoka, and will continue to make adjustments.
