At the professional baseball draft conference in 2012, Osaka Kinugaku High School'sShintaro FujinamiPitcher and Asia UniversityTohama giganticAlthough pitchers and others gathered a popularity, the same attention was paid to Hanabako Toho High SchoolShohei Otanipitcher. Since early I expressed my intention to challenge Major League rather than Japanese professional baseball, many teams avoided nomination at the draft conference.

However, Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters nevertheless nominated Otani as 1st place. Otani pitcher initially did not change the intention of major challenge, but announced that they will join after receiving tenacious negotiations with Ham Ham. This material was used during the negotiation. About the contents, it is "a whole sentence excluding some that seems to be not suitable for disclosure such as personal information".

the title is"Otani Shohei Kimi dreams to dream - consideration of overseas expansion in young Japanese sports -"


All 26 pages of slides and 5 pages of separate sheet material were released.


The hope of Otani's pitcher is "I want to put on the MLB top's ability", "I want to work for a long time at the top" and "I want to be a pioneer". Except for "I want to become a pioneer", there are various conditions for both "challenging from Japanese professional baseball (NPB) and suddenly going to Major League Baseball (MLB)," △ " .


Differences in competitive skills and environments from where you are now to the top of MLB. There are AAA, AA, A, the rookie league and the lower organization when it is Major League, it takes 3 to 5 years fastest to debut. There are also various environmental differences such as difference in competition level, hungry spirit, physical ability, etc. However, with NPB, the difference in the environment is small, it is about nine years until FA acquisition overseas.


Many of the players active in Japanese Major Leaguers are players who have shown numerous achievements at NPB. As of now, even if traveling to the United States early without going through the NPB, results are not linked.


This is the achievement of the major journal of the Japanese who is listed in the attachment document. When I am a high school graduate and belong to NPB, getting overseas FA and transferring to Major League is about 30 years old before, but it is still possible. Meanwhile, even if you go to the United States early, "reaching the MLB top" "long active" has not been linked to so far.


Here is a case of Korean baseball. Although some athletes played an active part in the MLB top without going through Korean professional baseball, everyone is a fielder, and the active period is not long. However, Otani's aim of "high school major major" is that it is not uncommon from the world, even if it becomes a pioneer in Japan.


Although table tennis is one of the events to go out overseas from a young age, looking at conditions, there is not much necessity to baseball into overseas from the young age.


In the material, establishing baseball technology and becoming independent as a person while achieving achievement in NPB has concluded that it will lead to immediate fighting and long-term success in MLB.


In the briefing, Otani said, "I thought that it would be better to go to the United States earlier in order to be active for a long time, but I got the data and my idea was leaning towards the entrance" and joined the group The deciding factor of this article can be seen.
