Lotte's pitcher Andre Jackson (29) practiced at ES CON FIELD on the 31st, adjusting his training in preparation for his first start since joining the team, against Nippon-Ham on April 1st.

For the right-handed pitcher, who played for DeNA until last season, this will be his first time on the Escon mound. "It's a beautiful stadium. I've seen many ballparks, including during my time in the majors, but this is definitely top-notch. It's great to actually see it," he said with a look of awe. He aims to outpitch Nippon-Ham Kitayama in the enemy stadium that has completely captivated him and get his first win in his first appearance.
