On the first day of the Los Angeles Dodgers' official spring training, new Japanese pitcher Ronshi Sasaki also made his debut, and on the 12th, he practiced with three Japanese players, Yushin Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani, all on the outdoor field.

Having not yet officially decided on a translator, Hiroshi Sasaki came to the spring training base and became familiar with the facilities under the guidance of Shohei Ohtani's translator Will Ireton, and then also underwent his first training. He did about 20 minutes of passing and receiving practice at a distance of about 40 metres, all of which were pitched with only four-seam fastballs.

Langxi Sasaki is scheduled to practice pitching in the cowshed on the 13th. However, on the 12th, about 17 people have gathered around the passing and receiving practice, including members of the coaching staff led by pitcher coach Mark Prior, Ireton, guards, and the team's social media staff. In addition, about 40 media personnel gathered at the scene.

When the open media entered the lounge, they could be seen having a good conversation with Hiroshi Sasaki, Yushin Yamamoto, and Shohei Ohtani. Yushin Yamamoto went into the cowshed on the 12th to practice throwing about 30 balls, including a change ball. Pitchers from other teams have about six weeks to prepare before the opening game, but the Dodgers will play two opening series games in Japan five weeks later, when Yushin Yamamoto will likely start to pitch at the opening game at Tokyo Dome.

Shohei Ohtani also focused on pitcher training in outdoor training on the 12th, and did about 10 minutes of passing and receiving practice, including throwing a change ball. At the end of the session, he threw 13 shots at the crouching catcher to continue preparing for his first season of shooting after donning a Dodgers jersey.
