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 distribution of spring training camps that 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 reinforcements have started the first army.
1 army members are 22 pitchers, 4 catchers, 9 infielders, and 6 outfielders. Pitcher Masayoshi Tanaka, who joined as compensation for outfielder Kensuke Kondo, who transferred to Softbank in FA, and infielder Gosho Kato, the third-ranked “reverse import” in the draft, were also named. In the “reinforcement group”, infielder Haruka Yamada, who was transferred from Seibu in a trade, started the second army.
The camp in Okinawa was held in 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, was in a fever. It will be interesting to see what kind of camp this season will be.
