■How to get into a strong baseball school

Let's start by thinking about how to get into a strong baseball school.

The first thing to consider is baseball ability .

Strong schools are looking for players who already have certain baseball skills and track records.
Therefore, your performance at your current school or club team will have a big impact.

For pitchers, we look at the speed and control of their pitches, and for batters, we look at their batting average, number of home runs, defensive ability, and how well they can perform in a real game.

Teamwork and leadership are also important. In addition to daily practice, you should also strive to perform well in official matches and stand out with your performance.

Next, it is important to gather information .

You need to consider what kind of player your desired school is looking for and whether you will fit in there, so use the school's official website, social media, and baseball-related media to research the characteristics and history of the school's baseball club, the activities of alumni, etc. It is also beneficial to visit the school's open campus and baseball club practice.

Also, try to get in touch with baseball club coaches, scouts, and school teachers. It is important to make yourself known and show your enthusiasm.

Another effective way is to take proactive action, such as reporting the results of the matches and tournaments you are participating in, or sending an email or letter introducing yourself. (My older brother Par wrote a letter himself and won admission to Chiben Wakayama!)

Finally, academic performance cannot be overlooked.
Not only do you have to concentrate on sports, but you also need to achieve academic success. Especially at preparatory schools, you have to pass exams and interviews, so daily study is essential.

It's not easy to get into a strong baseball school, but if you work hard and take the right steps, you'll have a good chance of opening the door. Keep in mind that you need to work hard and have a strategy, along with your passion for baseball.

The difference between "baseball recommendation" and "general admission"

There are two ways to enter a strong high school baseball team: "baseball recommendation" and "general admission."

Baseball recommendations are based on an evaluation of baseball athletic ability, while general admission requires passing a written entrance exam.
*There is also a written exam for the baseball recommendation entrance exam .

I think that both are the same once you enroll, but
At some strong baseball schools, students who enter through the general entrance exam are not allowed to join the baseball team , so if you are thinking of taking the general entrance exam and joining the school's baseball team, be sure to check beforehand.

Which is more important: “immediate combat ability” or “room for growth”?

Many of the players who win admission with a statement like "Number of home runs in junior high school , selection for the Japanese national team " are expected to be "immediate assets."

However, will all players be able to achieve the results that were expected of them before they enrolled during their three years of high school?

When the lid was opened, the players who were expected to be "immediately effective" were nowhere to be seen,
On the other hand, there are many cases where players with potential to grow are admitted to a school and go on to excel.

What potential do you feel there is for this player with such potential?
If you are a baseball player who wants to succeed on the stage beyond high school baseball, be sure to check out the list below.

[What is the "room for growth" that high school baseball officials are paying attention to?]

• How to use and move your body well
• A logical batting form
• Impressive swing speed
• High physical ability
• Attitude towards baseball

Even if you haven't achieved outstanding results, scouts will contact you if you have room to grow.

Even players who are not currently seeing results will definitely have a chance, so don't give up and keep practicing hard.

■The importance of choosing baseball gear with a serious consideration for the future

As mentioned in the previous chapter, high school baseball scouts are interested in the "potential for growth" of players, but this is not something that can be achieved by simply spending your days without thinking about anything.

First of all, the phrase "gaining room for growth" has a subtle nuance.

There is no need for special training, but by learning how to use your body and the correct form, you can become a player with promising futures.

But how?

We recommend that you learn the correct practice methods and use baseball gear that will increase the efficiency of your practice.

Be sure to practice efficiently and focus on mastering the correct hitting form.

It can be especially difficult to correct batting and pitching form that has been ingrained during elementary and junior high school years.

So make sure you pay attention to your form as early as possible to make sure it's logical and correct.

Summary

• The role of a high school baseball scout is to take the team to Koshien, searching for promising players to turn into professional baseball players.
• They want not only players who can contribute immediately, but also players with potential.
• It is important to use the right training methods to acquire batting and pitching forms that will show your potential

In the next chapter, we will introduce baseball gear that can help players who are not currently achieving results to pave the way to a strong baseball school and improve their future potential, so if you are interested, please read on.

■ Baseball gear that will help you get into a strong baseball school

We will introduce recommended products that will help you efficiently improve your baseball skills and win admission to a strong baseball school.

We will explain things in an easy-to-understand manner even for parents who have little experience with baseball, so please keep reading!

① Baseball gear that helps you develop a swing that will send the ball flying farther

When it comes to batting, the strength of your swing is important. Scouts place a lot of importance on swing strength as it is directly linked to hitting power.

However, a swing that can hit a home run is not easily acquired.

At times like these, we recommend the baseball gear "HEAD RUN BAT," which helps you master a swing that will increase your distance.

The HEAD RUN BAT is a training bat with an extremely bulging head, invented by Minoruman, a former captain of Osaka Toin High School and a baseball coaching YouTuber.
This is the perfect product for acquiring incredible head speed that will produce distances beyond your imagination.

The Head Run Bat is a training bat with the center of gravity shifted extremely close to the head . Its length and weight of 95cm-900g create a natural rotational motion, allowing you to experience a head running motion that cannot be achieved with ordinary training bats .

It is available in both adult and junior sizes , so it can be used by a wide range of players, from children to adults.

② Baseball gear that naturally improves hitting ability

Get Line Bat is a recommended baseball gear that helps you learn to swing along the line.

In order to improve your hitting ability, it is necessary to develop a swing that is parallel to the pitch .

However, it is actually very difficult to master this swing, and during actual practice it will feel even more difficult because the ball will come to you before you even have a chance to think about it.

Therefore, we would like to introduce you to a training bat that will allow you to easily develop a "swing that hits the ball along a line" during your regular practice swings or while batting off a tee!

GET LINE BAT

The GET LINE BAT is a training bat that features a hitting surface shaped like a shuttlecock .

By trying to make contact with this flat hitting surface you will naturally develop a "swing that hits along a line."

Also, if you don't make a good swing , the ball won't fly properly even if you catch it, so you can tell whether you're making a good swing just by checking the ball you hit.
