The first day of camp began at 9am with an welcoming ceremony at Nango Stadium.
===
Fumiya Nishiguchi had to borrow Hideaki Wakui's uniform after forgetting that he was scheduled to toss a bullpen session.
===
Kazuhisa Makita has the flu and missed the first day of spring camp. Makita was not feeling well on Tuesday and was examined at a hospital. He was diagnosed with the influenza A virus.
Makita has been isolated away from the rest of the players and will most likely miss a few days of practice.
===
Hisanobu Watanabe is excited about both Yusei Kikuchi and Tatsuya Oishi, which could be especially significant for the two young pitchers since no one has a guaranteed spot in the starting rotation right now.
===
Bullpen sessions:
Wednesday
Oishi threw 113 pitches while receiving advice from pitching coach Tadashi Sugimoto.
