Announcement: Player Recruitment for Japan Summer League 2026 (JSL2026)

Japan League Co., Ltd. has officially started recruiting players for the Japan Summer League 2026 (JSL2026). This is an 'athlete's open campus' for 18-year-olds, packed with opportunities for skill improvement, networking, and career planning. It is a five-day league primarily for high school seniors who missed out on Koshien, allowing them to give their 'last summer' one more serious shot. The league serves as a practical arena to test one's current level through match experience, while using cutting-edge data analysis (BLAST and TrackMan) to visualize strengths and weaknesses. Beyond baseball skills, the program offers physical training, self-analysis, and sports-career lectures, providing learning opportunities off the field as well. The event will take place from August 17 to August 21, 2026, at Koza Shinkin Stadium in Okinawa City.
