outfielder Rakuto Wakabayashi, who was traded from The Giants on the 29th, joined the first team's full practice at their home stadium, Belluna Dome, on the 30th. Manager Nishiguchi, who watched the practice, explained that Wakabayashi would play in a few games in the farm team first, and then join the first team once he was in top condition.

On this day, after practicing relay plays in right field, he went straight to defense right field. During the subsequent batting practice, he also showcased some powerful home runs.

After finishing his first day of practice with the team, Wakabayashi wiped away his sweat and said, "It's been a while since I've really moved my body. But there was a good sense of tension and speed, and that motivated me to move along with it." In the farm team, he will mainly participate in games to regain his "game sense," aiming to join the first team as soon as possible.
