Professional baseball owners' meeting to promote baseball promotion with independent league etc.November 27 18:45
A professional baseball owners' meeting was held, and in order to increase the competition population and fans, it was decided to consider collaboration with independent leagues and club teams around the country.
At the owner meeting held in Tokyo, opinions were exchanged on how to increase the competition population and fans amid the challenge of children and young people leaving baseball.
According to the attendees, a proposal was made to cooperate with independent leagues and club teams throughout the country to promote and promote baseball even in areas where professional baseball is not located.
In the future, we decided to collect information by working groups consisting mainly of the four teams of Giants, Hanshin, Rakuten, and ORIX, and to examine specific initiatives.
At the interview after the owner meeting, professional baseball commissioner Saito Satoshi said, “The number of spectators who come to the stadium is increasing, but the number of baseball players is decreasing. We are thinking about how to expand this. There are baseball teams from Hokkaido to Kyushu, and there are various baseball groups, but I would like to investigate the theme of how to cooperate. "
The chairperson of the owner meeting, instead of Rakuten Hiroshi Mikitani, has decided that Dena's owner Tomoko Minamiba will serve for the first time as a woman.
