Nippon-Ham outfielder Yuma Imagawa joined the first team on the 2nd and participated in the team practice at ESCON.

All that's clear is that he will accompany the team to the games against Seibu Lions (Ace Con) on the 4th and 5th. "It hasn't been decided whether I'll accompany them after that, so I came here with the strong determination to give it my all in the two games against The Lions and get good results, so that I'll definitely be included in the team. I feel like I have no choice but to go no matter what," he said enthusiastically.

Although he started camp with the first team, outfield Mannami, Mizutani, Ichibata, Yazawa, and the returning Nishikawa are all in good form. With limited opportunities to play in actual games, he joined the second team midway through camp. "Everyone else is achieving great results, so I won't make an impression unless I surpass their results. I don't think I can play in games unless I hit long balls, so I'm focusing on results. My boss said that the content is also important, so I want to prepare from practice so that I can do things like timing and sign plays well," he said with a serious expression.

After finishing his interview, he declared his determination, saying, "I'll do my best, even if it means putting my life on the line." In the midst of the fierce competition outfielder, he will do whatever it takes to snatch a spot.
