Admin’s Note

The smile of Kondo from Nihon University Third High School during the game was very impressive. In particular, his ability to enjoy the moment even in tense situations must have given the audience an incredible boost of energy. I believe that witnessing such players is one of the charms of high school baseball. The fusion of the game’s intensity and the players’ personalities is truly the essence of high school baseball. I hope that in the upcoming finals, the players will fully showcase this charm.
