The 32 participating teams will compete in a one-shot tournament. Unlike the city competition, there is no system for reinforcing players from teams that lost in the preliminary round, so it is positioned as a “single team match to decide the best in Japan.” The winning team will be awarded a “Diamond Flag” as proof of their victory. Teams with players selected at the professional baseball draft held on October 24th will also participate. For pitcher Ryōto Ihara (NTT West), who was drafted No. 1 and Hanshin acquired negotiation rights, and pitcher Yu Takeda (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries West), who was drafted No. 1 by DeNA, this will be their last chance in professional baseball. . Pay attention to the play of players who are going on to become professionals. This is the 6th live broadcast of the Japan Championship, starting with the 44th tournament in 2018. In 2023, the number of views was 1.57 million, setting a new record (2022: 1.27 million views). This year again, we will be delivering the excitement of the stadium from Kyocera Dome Osaka to all games for free. Live commentary and commentary will be provided from the quarterfinals onwards. On the special site, “missed broadcasts” and “digest videos” of each match will be uploaded at any time after the game ends. In addition to checking the matchups and schedules, players’ comments and in-depth articles (including paid ones) that provide the latest information on each team are also updated from time to time.
