Sugano (Rockies) and Kikuchi (Angels) joined the team from the US Major League Baseball. Sugano threw 39 pitches from the bullpen, including some breaking balls, and said strongly, “I don’t want to relax too much.I want to improve my condition well enough to enter the tournament.” Kikuchi arrived in Japan early in the morning and headed straight to Miyazaki. After working up a sweat playing catch, he said with a smile, “I don’t really feel jet lag.After meeting the players and wearing the uniform, I feel like I’ve switched on again.” #WBC #Japan Baseball National Team #Tomoyuki Kanno #Yusei Kikuchi
