Did you see the preview of the documentary?

There are 4,500 HS teams in Japan and only 49 will play in Koshien.

The Regional Playoffs will attract 5,000 fans each game. Actually for the players who play in Koshien they will receive a "job offer" from the Japan Corporations. After every game the media interviews the players. They are treated like "rock stars"!

Pitchers throw complete games [mounds are flat] and they also keep throwing between innings. Each pitcher has his arm X-ray after the game. The Japan officials knew my opinions on "over pitching" and we often discussed.
