Hey man, great video. Was looking for a quick Koshien explainer and you summed it up fabulously, with some exciting stories and highlights

Also, in that opening clip of Shohei Ohtani pitching, you can see his fastball clocked at 154 kmh, which is 95 mph, and he's in highschool. Obviously someone born to play the game

hope one day i could visit japan and watch this live in the stadium

I'm here after Diamond no Ace, Major, Major 2nd, and bunch of MBL videos.

New to baseball. Searched Koshien after looking up Japanese highschool baseball, after watching Munenori Kawasaki interviews lol Nice video, great stories.

"I will create a Baseball manga without Koushien Tournament in it" Said no Mangaka ever,...

2 years later but Diamond no Ace

I first learned everything about baseball through ace of diamond. I wish I can watch summer koshien soon. Definitely one in my bucket list

oh thats shohei

1:36 the saddest slide I've ever seen :'(

Great video! Matsuzaka is legend. Most of Japanese baseball fan remember it.

Can't wait for another video about Japanese baseball. Its so interesting

Watching the kids cry gets me every time.

いきなり大谷登場。この動画アップした時に今の大谷をイメージ出来てた？

nice video but anothing thing The 100 pitch thing is still under studies, but probablly they will put

If I may suggest a great anime about highschool Japanese baseball that actually ends with the player making it to the MLB, its called Major. If you love baseball you must watch this show. The beginning is heartbreaking.

I don't think Major actually gets what Koshien is. I don't even remember if Goro gets to Koshien. TBH Diamond no Ace does a better job!

i've genuinely been trying to scour the internet to find previous years Koshien/content, but it's next to impossible in english. the only things that come up are videos like this. I genuinely want to go back and watch some of these games. throwing 250 pitches after you threw 150+ pitches, is insane. the Little League limit is like 80 pitches from what i remember (now). But as a former work horse pitcher, the threshold was more like 100-110. these dudes are throwing double that on no days rest. absolutely insane. i really want to catch one of these games in person.

yeah, most Koshien content are in Japanese. But don't worry, actually you can watch it for free on websites. Especially Spring Koshien is coming in March soon.

So is Spring Koshien at the beginning of their baseball season, like those Invitational tournaments that NCAA basketball has during the start of their season, and the Summer Koshien is their playoffs, the end of their season?

Come after saw ohtani video throwing 99mph. Crazy thing.

You didnt mention all the rules, unwritten rules and rituals Theres a tradition that you souvenir the sacred dirt of koshien, this tradition was started by kawakami the great yomiuri giants manager when he was a high schooler Players will have oceans of tears after defeat, so there is crying in baseball

Out of how many high school gets to make it? I heard there are no divisions in Japanese sports except male/female.

49, one for each prefecture except for Tokyo which is split north and south and Hokkaido is split similarly, I believe.
