>>
I'm interested but don't really know what team I should root for
>>
>>157251874
here is a summary for each team

South Hokkaido: Sapporo Nichidai (札幌日大) is a private school from South Hokkaido. This is only the schools' 3rd ever Koshien appearance, with their other two coming in spring 2002 and summer 2024 respectively. They have never won a game at Kohsien, losing in the first round both times previously.
Media ranking: C

Miyagi: Sendai Ikuei (仙台育英) is a private school from Miyagi Prefecture. It is the premier baseball school in Miyagi and one of the strongest programs in Japan. Sendai Ikuei has made 57 Koshien appearances, by far the most of any school in Miyagi, and among the highest totals in Japan. They finally managed to win their first title in Summer 2022 after coming close many times before.
Media ranking: A
>>
Oh yea people make a "Asia" Koshien on southeast Asia now lol

The red team has a jeet?

this is just the most visited schools on that specific website (but it is mostly the favourites)

yokohama
ariake
sendai ikuei
chiben wakayama
riseisha

Ikueibros thought that was gone
>>
>>157251933
It updated now
Top 3 is Yokohama, Sendai Ikuei (playing now) Hanamaki Higashi (Ohtani HomeSchool)

Yokohama is the most favorite right now

>>157251943
I plan to cheer for Hanamaki Higashi.

Ikuei will always remind me about that walkout vs a favorite Osaka Toin

In fact, they had put it in this year promo

is it the same as mlb? I don't watch japanese baseball, I'm working from home rn lol. Ikuei on the board!! got greedy tho.

And first run
>>
So it's not just a Yamamoto thing, it's not just an Orix Buffalo thing, but even in high school they develop that kind of windup.

>>157252038
Now that they have DH this year, all they need is pitch clock, ABS, 3 batter rule and Manfred runners prior to elimination games...
>>
>>157252046
Kinda off
Difference is that the replay is done in stadium rather than a central place

Elimination baseball really is the hypest shit. Almost a shame you need such a lengthy regular season to get there, almost.

Of course, I have absolutely no improper intentions; I just want to cheer on these cheerleaders who are working hard in a wholesome way. Please, you have to believe me.
Naturally, if it turns out to be really unpopular, I won't post the link again—so please.

I miss when they did interview from stands with some school members

But they do it only from quarterfinals and prefer do this letter thing since covid

It's not even hard to decode when he's signalling to bunt or to hit. It's like they don't respect other schools to try and read lips or steal signs.
But I guess I get it at this level, they're just kids after all at the end of the day. You want to develop their actual ball skills (and personal skills) as opposed to pro ball win no matter what.

actually, the kid on the mound is their ace. They started with a weaker pitcher and brought in the ace later. It’s probably because of pitch count rules.

There was definite bias.
They barely showed Nichidai's supporters besides the boys in pink (though they earned it, they made it sound like it was their home stadium). Now we'll never see them again.
