World Baseball Softball Confederation President Riccardo Fraccari stopped short of issuing a verdict after inspecting Fukushima Prefecture's suitability as a potential host for the 2020 Olympic baseball and softball competitions.

Fraccari on Saturday scouted Azuma Stadium in the city of Fukushima and Koriyama's Kaiseizan Stadium, but insisted the purpose of his visit this time was to gather intelligence rather than reach any kind of conclusion.

A third city, Iwaki, is also under consideration and Green Stadium has already received a visit from Fraccari.
