On Saturday, December 13, 2025, for the purpose of contributing to the local community, the Shinwa Group hosted its annual baseball academy led by Akinobu Mayumi, former player and manager of the Hanshin Tigers.
Following last year, we once again received cooperation from the Orix Buffaloes, with their players providing guidance. Approximately 150 participants from the Ikeda City Boys & Girls Soft Baseball Federation and the Osaka City Northern District Boys & Girls Soft Baseball Federation took part.
This time, direct instruction was provided to the baseball youths by Akinobu Mayumi, former player and manager of the Hanshin Tigers; Kazuma Sato and Ryoto Kita, current players for the Orix Buffaloes; Minoru Iwata, a former professional pitcher; and alumni coaches from the Orix Buffaloes.
The practical guidance aimed at improving skills in 'pitching,' 'batting,' and 'position-specific' plays.
Footage of the baseball clinic is scheduled to be streamed on the Shinwa Group's YouTube channel at a later date, so the children can watch it repeatedly to understand the lessons better.
