General Incorporated Association Kyushinkai announced the launch of a new app, "BEYOND OH! Platform," on Monday, April 27, 2026. This app aims to connect people involved in baseball-type sports as a new initiative of the "BEYOND OH! PROJECT," which is promoted under the philosophy of "creating a future where global heroes who stir the world and give dreams and hope to children, surpassing Sadaharu Oh and Shohei Ohtani, continue to emerge from the baseball and sports world."
The environment surrounding baseball is currently undergoing significant changes. Challenges such as a decrease in opportunities for children to encounter baseball and difficulties for parents in finding necessary information have become apparent.
To address these issues, Kyushinkai recognized the indispensable need for a system that appropriately delivers information and opportunities to those who need them, leading to the development of this platform. This app serves as a foundation for children, parents, and local organizations, teams, and stakeholders supporting baseball-type sports to connect seamlessly with necessary information and opportunities.
■ Comment from Representative Sadaharu Oh
Baseball has the power to attract and nurture people.
We want to deliver this power to more children and parents.
To achieve this, it is crucial for the baseball community to work together and create an environment where everyone can safely participate in sports.
We aim to expand this foundation through this platform.
In recent years, the environment surrounding baseball-type sports faces various challenges, including a decrease in opportunities for children to encounter baseball, difficulties for parents in finding necessary information, and regional information disparities.
Kyushinkai has believed that for the value and appeal of baseball-type sports to be passed on to the next generation in a way that suits the times, a mechanism is needed to deliver information and opportunities correctly to those who need them.
The "BEYOND OH! Platform" is one manifestation of this vision.
This app was developed to create an environment where children interested in baseball, their parents, and local organizations, teams, and stakeholders supporting baseball-type sports can connect more smoothly with necessary information and opportunities.
■ Main Features
・Papa Mama Blog
Blog content sharing experiences and knowledge unique to parents supporting young baseball players.
It delivers real voices rooted in daily life, covering topics such as meals, transportation, volunteer duties, and family involvement.
・Event Function
Aggregates information on baseball clinics and experiential events held nationwide and displays them in a calendar format.
・Community Function
Allows users to post and interact with each other, seek advice, and communicate.
・Baseball Map
A feature that visualizes places where catchball or baseball can be played, such as parks and facilities, based on user contributions.
It makes regional receptiveness visible and broadens points of contact with baseball.
・Baseball Team Information
A feature where each team updates its information, allowing children and parents to obtain information about local baseball teams according to age.
It is expected to make it easier to choose a suitable environment and help reduce misunderstandings or mismatches after joining a team.
Kyushinkai positions this app not merely as a place for information posting, but as a foundation that the entire baseball community will share and nurture together. We intend to continue this. In the future, we will collaborate with everyone involved in baseball-type sports to update event information, team information, and the Baseball Map, thereby growing it into a more effective platform.
