スポーツ｜大阪勢、甲子園で勝てず衝撃の年 / Sports | Osaka teams fail to win at Koshien, a shocking year

Summary

In the summer of 2025, the high school baseball team from Osaka is facing a tough situation, having failed to secure a victory for the first time in 45 years, and they are also unable to participate in the Spring Senbatsu tournament.

Particularly impactful was the early exit of Higashi-Osaka Daikashiwabara, which made its appearance after 14 years but lost in the first round. This marked a record low for Osaka since 1980. As a result, the year has ended without a single victory for Osaka at Koshien, leading to growing disappointment among fans.

Admin’s Note

The news that the teams from Osaka couldn’t win at this year’s Koshien is quite surprising. High school baseball is a sport beloved by many fans, and I never expected Osaka, with its many strong schools, to end up with such results. It’s impressive to see so many voices, like Chako’s, expressing hope for a comeback in the next tournament. The appeal of high school baseball lies in the passionate battles of the players, so I really hope that the teams from Osaka will do their best next year.
