Masayoshi Tanaka, who joined through personal compensation, is also in the 1st Army, and Haruka Yamada, who joined from Seibu, is in the 2nd Army.
On the 20th, Nippon-Ham announced the classification of the spring training camp, which will be held from February 1st. Many of the promising young players such as pitcher Kota Yazawa and infielder Kotaro Kiyomiya, who are rookies in the first draft, and players who joined as boosters have started the first army.
1 member of the army is 22 pitchers, 4 catchers, 9 infield, and 6 outfield. Pitcher Masayoshi Tanaka, who joined as compensation for outfielder Kensuke Kondo, who transferred to Softbank in FA, and outfielder Gosho Kato, the third “reverse import” pick in the draft, were also named. In the “reinforcement group”, fielder Haruka Yamada, who was transferred from Seibu in trade, started the second army.
The camp in Okinawa was held at Nago City for the 1st Army and Kunigami Village for the 2nd Army. Last season, Tsuyoshi Shinjo, who was in the first year of his appointment, had a fever. It will be interesting to see what kind of camp this season will be.
