It was revealed on the 7th that Softbank Hawks pitcher Liván Moinelo, who is continuing his adjustments in preparation for returning to the first team, will hold a live batting practice on the 8th.

On this day, the 25-year Pacific League MVP left-hander also participated in pitcher practice at Mizuho PayPay Dome, and as a member of the Cuban national team, he participated in the WBC and appeared in two games. He pitched 7 and 1/3 innings with a 1-runs (0 earned runs), but the team was eliminated in the first round. After the tournament, due to severe fuel shortages in his home country and large-scale power outages, he arrived in Japan on March 26, the day before the season opener.

After that, he continued his own adjustments, gradually moving toward returning to competition with catch balls and bullpen pitch with a sloped pitch. Shinji Kurano pitcher Chief Coach and Head Coordinator stated about his left-handed pitcher, "We'll do a live BP tomorrow. Whether to adjust upward or downward is a matter of pitching, but we have a certain plan in place." Before the game against Lotte on the 8th (Mizuho PayPay), hitter plans to pitch against four opponents, and Moinelo is eagerly awaiting 'how it will feel when I pitch tomorrow.'
