Seiryo (Ishikawa) Batting Lineup 8-Shouji (CF) 18-Imai (LF) 5-Chida(3B) (4 for 9 in tournament) 6-Uchiyama(SS) 13-Otaka (2B) 3-Fukumoto (1B) (6 for 11) (Walk-off home run in third round) 9-Okada (RF) (5 for 8) 11-Ogihara (P) (Okugawa not starting today) 2-Yamase (One of the top hitting catchers in HS Baseball, possible late round candidate for draft) (4 for 8 in tournament) Seiryo are a traditional power from the rural prefecture of Ishikawa, who are famously, Hideki Matsui's former school.
As expected, Okugawa (1-Seiryo-Pitcher) (Tops out at 96 mph) (35 Ks and 8 hits in 25 innings) is not starting today considering his 150+ pitch effort yesterday. Expect him to feature in the later innings to close the game though.
Brody Scott
Sendai Ikuei (Miyagi) Batting Lineup 4-Nakazato (2B) (8 for 14) 3-Miyamoto (LF) (6 for 14) 6-Irie (SS) 9-Onou (RF) 5-Chiba (1B) (6 for 13) 1-Osakae (3B) (8 for 12) 18-Ito (P) 2-Kimura (C) 8-Mizuoka (CF) (5 for 11) Sendai Ikuei are a koshien powerhouse from Miyagi prefecture in northern Japan. Their school just happens to be walking distance from the stadium of the Rakuten Eagles and as such, they have some history of sending players to the Eagles. They reached the 2015 Koshien final but have never won Koshien. The star player for that 2015 team is current Marines infielder Taiga Hirasawa.
Joshua Bailey
What a chad, has both an imouto and onee-san
Isaac Butler
DC WHAT THE FUCK
Isaiah Clark
i saw that Ikuei also had the first Japanese Interact Club from Rotary in 1963
They said that at certain poing this club had the biggest club members in all Japan related to Rotary and even won an intrernational prize from Rotary Club for its acitivities
Charles Sanchez
Ito (P) is not the usual starter for Sendai Ikuei but he can reach some heat. 89.5mph just now.
Jose Ward
I played the Koshien Spirits mode in Prospi 2019 last night. Turns out you can use google translate with your camera on your phone to translate quickly. However Koshien Spirits is basically a RPG create a player mode.
Landon Jenkins
yea, i do that sometimes here too lol Koshien Sprits is basically Pawafuro Story mode but Live Action, this was popular with people that played this mode on yotuube so they are trying to make people get the game for this mode as well
Matthew Diaz
It's actually quite short. You can complete the mode within 1 1/2 hours.
Xavier Wilson
Pawafuro sometimes is really short you can move the player onto pro-carrer mode on pawafuro, i guess you can do the same on Pro Spi too
Parker Barnes
Oh shit, full base.
Angel Perry
Oh fuck, dingeeerrr
Ian Reed
JUICED BALLS
Jacob King
NOICE, holy shit.
Brandon Phillips
Imai (18-Seiryo) hasn't played a game so far i think in this tournament. And his second at-bat is a grand slam!
Jacob Hughes
Ito is taken out as Sendai Ikuei pitch. Osakae (who had been playing third base) now assumes his role as nominal ace.
Adam Johnson
already going back to their ace, cant really blame them desu
Oh dear. Mizuoka (CF) with an E8 (You never really see those do you). This could get ugly quite quickly. But Okugawa looks like he can get a good rest for the semis and final.
Kayden Anderson
in case you guys didn't know yet, quarterfinals and semifinals are shuffled via lottery in Summer Koshien unlike in Spring Koshien, which sometimes confuses you.
Ryan Cook
ugly start, couldve been uglier. still a long ways from being over.
Brody Phillips
thanks for explanation again user
Nathan Brooks
SAFE.Kek.
Oliver Peterson
Imai bringing more pain
Hunter Cooper
seiryo is gonna wafflestomp them down the drain because sendai ikuei have been shit
Jacob Bailey
Oh dear.
Jose Hill
Good hit.
Josiah Gonzalez
F for you
Nolan Clark
Just an reminder that no games tomorrow (there is an free day between quarterfinals and semos) and semis will start 8pm ET
Then another free day and final will be at 1am ET
Joshua Perez
All gonna be on daytime? Fuck me then.
Christopher Anderson
how much hours you are from tokyo time?
Noah Myers
Just 1 hour difference.
Adrian Moore
Nice lucky steal.
Asher Morris
is this time that i said but 12 hours ahead so change PM for AM or the reverse
Brandon Price
I don't think seiryo will blow this one, my condolences sendai ikuei
Landon Brooks
is there prize money for team that wins?
Easton White
No this is pure, raw, unfiltered passion. This is what you ask for when you want to inject something in your veins
Logan Williams
Would seiryo be favorites going into semis?
Liam Allen
no but the team gets the eternal glory (and fame) of win the tournament
Certainly the winner players will get something related to baseball like an spot on NPB draft or at least play on college or industrial leagues
if not they will called to baseball broadcasts or jbaseball journalisn
Landon Davis
When does the second round start?
Christian Cox
>13 Not a regular baseball follower here, I dont think they can catch up at this point.
and this is an team that played for fucking 15 innings yesterday
Evan Jones
bros let the inning end.
Hunter Cooper
It was a joke silly
Also i love that they didn't need to use their ace at all.
Carson Reed
yea i know
Hunter Bell
ok just 16 to tie this up
Josiah Ross
what a cartoon catch
Luis Lewis
Grab your dirt kids, you played a game today
Aiden Gutierrez
F for ausbro
Joseph Green
Can overall winners grab the dirt too?
Liam Smith
Why would they need to? They'll have medals and a trophy and whatnot

Riseisha (Osaka) Batting Lineup 8-Momotake (CF) (6 for 14, 2 HRs) 4-Ikeda (2B) 5-Kobukata (3B) 9-Inoue (RF)(6 for 13, 2HRs) 3-Uchikura (1B) 7-Nishikawa (LF) (8 for 13, 1HR) 2-Noguchi (C) 6-Nogami (SS) 1-Shimizu (P) (19Ks, 21 hits in 20 innings, Tops out at 88mph) Riseisha(Osaka) are the perennial bridesmaids to Osaka Toin in Osaka, as they frequently reach Spring Koshien (Where 2 Osaka teams can compete) but rarely reach Summer. Their most famous alumni is Tetsuto Yamada.
Carson Kelly
Kanto Daiichi (East Tokyo) Batting Lineup 8-Okubo (CF) 9-Shigemasa (RF) 6-Shibutani (SS) Shibutani (6-Kanto Daiichi-Infielder) (8 for 14) 3-Hiraizumi (1B) 7-Hirakawa (LF) 13-Nagashima (3B) 2-Noguchi(C) 4-Muraoka (2B) 10-Tani (P) (Tops out at 91mph) (6 hits, 9 Ks in 11 innings) Kanto Daiichi are a private school from East Tokyo (which has traditionally been the weaker Tokyo region). They are a relatively recent Koshien fixture who famously made the 2015 Summer semis with Louis Okoye (Half-black Eagles Outfielder).
Ended up not mattering, but how the fuck do you blow that call? His glove was literally between the base and the foot
Samuel Hall
Yeah, but I kind of miss seeing Nishitani calling upon unearthly powers to play 4D chess in the dugout
Jacob Morgan
they werent they ones that elimianted Toin, it was another team
also i want someone different win this year, 3 years of Osaka winning seems meh
David Wright
Bottom of the 5th. Bases loaded for Riseisha. 3-Uchikura is up. 1 out. Big moment here.
Oliver Robinson
3-3 oof
Jackson Brooks
Nice, they got the tie.
Connor King
>mfw no camerawoman gf
Owen Nguyen
It would be good if its the locals or the based farmers
Cameron Moore
We're tied. Uchikura with the RBI. Still bases loaded here so they can go ahead. Pitcher change for Kanto Daiichi 1-Tsuchiya pitching now (despite his number, he's not the ace) 7-Nishikawa (8 for 13 prior to this game) up now for Riseisha.
Mason Sanchez
kore wa fain pureeee!!! subarashi!!!
Evan Mitchell
Great catch by Okubo (8-Kanto Daiichi) saves a certain run.
Gabriel Baker
Good pitching, keeps risei to one run this inning
Dylan Cook
farmers seems pretty big ot at least they prepared an lot for it since they have an middle school team
Inoue with the 3-run RBI. RBI Machine. (2HRs already in this tournament)
Matthew Clark
Aw fuck. They can still catch up here.
Zachary Robinson
Spoke too soon...
Xavier Morales
Assuming Riseisha win here. It'll be Hyogo v Osaka in the semis. Two neighbouring prefectures, and the two prefectures of the Hanshin Tigers.
Isaiah Lee
So powerhouse vs underdog, that too neighbours? If its not a blowout then it should be good
Thomas Rivera
Oof Osaka won
Jackson Murphy
It's relatively equal really. Yes, Akashi Shogyo have really only been prominent for the past year, but it's not like they've come from nowhere. And Riseisha, while a strong school, have traditionally played second fiddle to Osaka Toin and don't make it Summer Koshien that often (Like once every 4 or 5 years).
Luke Williams
Riseisha have never made it past the third round in Summer Koshien prior to this year, although they did reach Spring Koshien finals in 2014 and 2017. Their Summer Koshien appearances prior were 1997, 2010 and 2016, shows the difficulty of getting past Osaka Toin.
Grayson Moore
I feel like it was a close fight. Guess I can try to sneak watching the semis in the office later.
Connor Martin
Yeah, that's the school with two doubles and so many titles in the past 10 years
Levi Morgan
2017 they made the final of spring with Osaka Toin and Osaka Toin won
Michael Martin
When does the semis start
Julian White
There's a rest day tomorrow, so day after 9am Tokyo time

Jayden Evans
I've missed this entire tourney, what are some solid games I should watch tonight and tomorrow to catch up?
Chase Wilson
>vk.sportsbull.jp/koshien/senshuken/schedule.html use chrome to translate. i would reccommend: Last 2 games on days 4,5,6,7,10,11 There are probably a couple others to add but those from what i see and remember are good. I forget which are top tier kino, but yeah, work from there
toin is dead, eliminated by a meme bunt in their prefect semis. abg has webm somwhere (check archive or ask him).ohmi arrived with the boy again and promptly left. akashi shogyo (akashisho) probably the closest to a kanano from last year since theyre a public school. check . other than that try the previous threads for some info
Levi Rivera
>eliminated by a meme bunt in their prefect semis top kek, thanks man!
thats yesterday and tomorrow with semis today and the final on wednesday. theyre basically a day ahead if youre referring to the schedule
Blake Stewart
any update on the irish farmers?
Oliver Rivera
ohhh what time is game 1?
Sebastian Carter
what?
Brayden Gomez
a half-hour from now with Riseisha - Akaishi Shogyo opening things up for the night. An all-local affair to start off the semifinals, which is kind of odd imo, but it should be a good one.
Brayden Ross
Riseisha (Osaka) Batting Lineup 8-Momotake (CF) (8 for 18, 2 HRs) 4-Ikeda (2B) 5-Kobukata (3B) (6 for 16) 9-Inoue (RF)(8 for 17, 2 HRs, 11 RBIs) (Clearly Riseisha's star, getting a lot of pro interest recently) 3-Uchikura (1B) 7-Nishikawa (LF) (8 for 16, 1HR) 2-Noguchi (C) 6-Nogami (SS) 1-Shimizu (P) (19Ks, 27 hits,27 Ks in 29 innings, Tops out at 88mph) Riseisha(Osaka) are the perennial bridesmaids to Osaka Toin in Osaka, as they frequently reach Spring Koshien (Where 2 Osaka teams can compete) but rarely reach Summer. Their most famous alumni is Tetsuto Yamada.
Lincoln Wright
Correction. 17(Iwazaki) will be now starting Pitcher for Riseisha. Very little information on him.
Eli Kelly
Akashi Shogyo (Hyogo) Batting Lineup 8-Kita (CF) 2-Mizukami (C) 5-Shigemiya (3B) (6 for 11, 1 HR) 9-Ando (RF) (5 for 13, 1 HR) 3-Miyazaki (1B) 6-Kouno (SS) 18-Fukui (LF) 4-Shimizu (2B) 1-Nakamori (P) Nakamori (1-Akashi Shogyo-Pitcher) (Second Year) (7 hits, 8Ks in 11 innings) (25 hits, 30 Ks in 31 innings at Spring Koshien 2019) (Tops out at 92mph) Akashi Shogyo are a public school from the prefecture of Hyogo in Kansai region.They have only recently come into prominence with some good draftable talent. They competed in summer koshien last year and made the semis of this year's spring koshien. Realistically, they are sort of the closest thing to Kanaashi Nogyo (Yoshida's team) this year, given that they are a public school, with little historical Koshien success. Plus they're the local team from Hyogo.
Camden Moore
link? I'm just seeing highlights on the OP link
Aaron Smith
when does the game start wtf....
Dylan Mitchell
fucking finally
Logan Ross
A 3 base hit to start, almost a dinger
Tyler Jenkins
Does not look good for Akashi Shogyo. Akashi's strength thus far in the tournament has been their pitching rather than their offense. Nakamori (who is a second year) really struggling here despite his velocity.
Nicholas Rodriguez
Nishikawa is now 9 for 17. This Riseisha offense is very, very deep. 4-0.
Joseph Peterson
it's over fellas, Resei is just running away with it now
Nolan Hall
If Riseisha don't have to use Shimizu (their ace) they can use him in the final with 3 days rest. That against what will probably be a tired Okugawa if they meet Seiryo in the final.
Zachary Cox
Homerun! Shame its only one run
Luke Perry
KITA THE GOAT
Brandon Brooks
LEAD-OFF DINGER BY KITA. AKASHI SHOGYO PEG IT BACK TO 4-1.
Sasuga Akasho, way to make me disappointed. What's the next match?
Kayden Cook
yea the first semi ended, the second will start soon
David Clark
Yeah, I frequent fph threads enough to know that
Jackson Johnson
lets go mest!
Christian King
Chukyo Gakuindai Chukyo (Gifu) Batting Lineup 8-Takabatake (CF) 4-Nobuhara (2B) 9-Masuda (RF) 2-Fujita (C) (6 for 12) 5-Oda (3B) (4 for 9) 1-Fugo (P) (16 Ks, 15 hits in 14 innings) 3-Gen (1B) (5 for 12, 1HR) 7-Nimura (LF) 6-Inoue (SS) Chukyodai Gakuin Chukyo are a private school from Gifu (Chubu region). Chukyo have some Koshien tradition, but their only recent attendance in Koshien in the past decade has been a second round exit in 2016. They are not to be confused with Chukyodai Chukyo who are one of the most successful Koshien schools in Japan (From Aichi, but they have recently been mediocre).
Thomas Russell
Seiryo (Ishikawa) Batting Lineup 8-Shouji (CF) (9 for 22) 18-Imai (LF) 5-Chida(3B) 6-Uchiyama(SS) (7 for 19, 2HRs) 13-Otaka (2B) (9 for 17, 1 HR) 3-Fukumoto (1B) (6 for 15) (Walk-off home run in third round) 9-Okada (RF) (7 for 13) 1-Okugawa (P) (Tops out at 96 mph) (35 Ks and 8 hits in 25 innings) 2-Yamase (One of the top hitting catchers in HS Baseball, possible late round candidate for draft) (4 for 11 in tournament) Seiryo are a traditional power from the rural prefecture of Ishikawa, who are famously, Hideki Matsui's former school.
Aiden Peterson
Anyone got a list of last year's hs draft? I know yoshida and neo made it, but I can't find anything about kakigi
Nicholas Ward
Looks like i don't really have to be disappointed about missing the first semi
Mason Barnes
>>but I can't find anything about kakigi I think he got drafted by the Ham Fighters alongside Yoshida (he was obviously a first rounder) late on.
Brayden Phillips
Kakigi was drafted with Yoshida to the Fighters. Fujiwara (Also Toin) was drafted to the Marines.
David Rogers
The media likes portraying Kakigi and Yoshida as best friends as they are also rooming together and both are pitchers.
Benjamin Garcia
So many of the toin boys got drafted? 3? That would be cute if true. No one tell the fujos though.
How are Seiryo farmers they're like one of the elite schools that just doesn't make sense
Kayden Gray
This ump actually maintaining some semblance of a proper strike zone, I like it
Jack Reyes
It's either them or the Eagles Eagles (Okoye, Matsui, Anraku, Masahiro Tanaka)
Owen Watson
lol the Swallows are in prime position for him atm, but, you know, they'll find find a way to fuck that up lefuckingl. (yeah, I know how the first round of the NPB Draft goes)
Brody Butler
They're not. They're just from quite a rural prefecture. Gifu is also quite rural too. The real farmers are Iiyama.
Anthony Carter
Ishikawa is a rural prefecture. So I guess you could call them elite farmers
Caleb Jones
Swallows just don't know how to work their pitchers so seeing him there would be weird. I want him to the Eagles if anything since they're my favorite NPB team
Joshua Cook
Every team will probably pick him. Sasaki is the best pitching prospect since Ohtani and unlike him, Sasaki hasn't outright stated that he wishes to go to majors straight away (which is how the Fighters got Ohtani cause no other team would waste their first round pick on a player who didn't want to go to NPB)
Logan Sullivan
Gifu would be potters :^)
Eli Rogers
Okugawa's endurance is impressive, only 2 days rest after throwing 160 and his offspeed stuff still fucking snaps
Joshua Gray
If he went to the Eagles, they would really play the Tohoku narrative as he's from Iwate and there's a english article on how he lost his dad in the tsunami. Considering how Sendai was damaged in the tsunami.
Brayden Gomez
is all based on luck and swallows arent based on luck lol
last year was an shame
Landon Nelson
Filth
Henry Miller
lmao there is someone on outfield using USA flag lol
was not expecting the chuckys to get crushed like this.
Carson Gomez
where the fuck is the game???
William Richardson
Kek.
Kevin Roberts
the night after tomorrow (betweem 21 amd 22)
Justin Jenkins
Name of the tan female host currently on the stream? Very nice
Aaron Clark
Whos well we all have different nights. How many bings and bongs?
Ayden Butler
Ami Inamura
August 22, 5am UTC
Logan Nelson
There are a lot of articles comparing Okugawa to Tanaka. Lot of focus on the fact that they look similar (similar facial expressions and build) and are similar power pitching workhorses.
next baseball competition will be the National Sports Festival 29 setember to october 2 but i dont know if Asahi will broadcast the competition
if not case the next will be the meiji and since it is fit on the off-season calendar of regular baseball i always make threads for fun about this tournament
Xavier Adams
2006 Koshien of course. The famous one against Yuki Saito.
Thomas Sanchez
I've got work tomorrow so I'll only be able to dip in and out of the thread. Can't really watch the stream so you're going to have to describe. Anyway i'll post the teams now.
Evan Garcia
there is an text-by-text on asahi page, i can post here if you want
Seiryo (Ishikawa) Expected Batting Lineup 8-Shouji (CF) (11 for 27) 18-Imai (LF) 5-Chida(3B) 6-Uchiyama(SS) (9 for 27, 2HRs) 13-Otaka (2B) (9 for 17, 1 HR) 3-Fukumoto (1B) (7 for 19) (Walk-off home run in third round) 9-Okada (RF) (7 for 14) 1-Okugawa (P) (Tops out at 96 mph) (45 Ks and 10 hits in 32 innings) 2-Yamase (One of the top hitting catchers in HS Baseball, possible late round candidate for draft) (7 for 15 in tournament) Seiryo are a traditional power from the rural prefecture of Ishikawa, who are famously, Hideki Matsui's former school.
Eli Thompson
Eh i can get the gist by the thread. Also on Netto Koshien there was a story on Hayashi (Babyfaced pitcher for Ohmi from last year). You should take a look.
Henry Brooks
Riseisha (Osaka) Expected Batting Lineup 8-Momotake (CF) (9 for 23, 2 HRs) 4-Ikeda (2B) 5-Kobukata (3B) (9 for 21) 9-Inoue (RF)(9 for 21, 2 HRs, 11 RBIs) (Clearly Riseisha's star, getting a lot of pro interest recently) 3-Uchikura (1B) 7-Nishikawa (LF) (10 for 20, 1HR) 2-Noguchi (C) 6-Nogami (SS) 1-Shimizu (P) (19Ks, 27 hits,27 Ks in 29 innings, Tops out at 88mph) Riseisha(Osaka) are the perennial bridesmaids to Osaka Toin in Osaka, as they frequently reach Spring Koshien (Where 2 Osaka teams can compete) but rarely reach Summer. Their most famous alumni is Tetsuto Yamada.
Hunter Howard
i am going to see they did an end-tournament special about an Ohmi battery too on
Nolan James
Both of their lineups looks stacked with a solid ace. Thais is gonna be fun
it hate say it but is going to be an ace pitcher battle
Jonathan Flores
All I'm asking is to keep it close at the the end
Gabriel Stewart
also a battle that tests whichever pitcher having stronger mental stability
Jacob Scott
ah btw there is no tie break on final in case of tie on 15th inning, another game will be played and this second game aparentlly will be inning less old-style
Jason Perez
Both aces got some decent rest throughout the tournament right?
Dominic Hill
Any reason why their numbers look like they were stitched on a few hours before the game?
Easton Carter
the players generally dont use numbers, since baseball clubs may have lot of members, they need make an selection of who plays and who stays out
Gabriel Ortiz
depends, you consider an day off good rest or bad rest?
Brandon Jones
Fuck yeah lets go Seiryo
Ian Lopez
I mean they got spot rest throughout. Also I know one of them wasn't used in the btfo of Sendai ikuei, which is 3 days rest minimum. Don't you dare try to be facetious with me abg
Dude can't find the plate and you swing at that garbage
Carson Myers
what an inning
Julian Peterson
oof >risp keeps it tied after 7. After that you gotta give us extras lil kohais
Alexander Powell
Okugawa has got to be feeling good right now. Shut it down lad
Matthew King
Okugawa really needs to develop a solid change-up if he's going to succeed at the next level, he's having a heck of a time getting lefties out with his slider
Brody Young
its ogre
Luke Myers
It's clearly not
Isaac Thomas
R I S E I
Matthew Jackson
I'm amazed at how these managers can make decisions with this pace of play. These games are blazing fast.
Cooper Russell
welp
Jace Richardson
now it's really ogre
Blake Rogers
Not until the 27th out
Michael Perry
it's not ogre you asshole
Owen Hernandez
that's it i'm going back to bed
Landon Morales
Stop swinging at shit
Bentley Campbell
YHOURE FUCKING DOWN BY TWO WHY ARE YOU TSTEALING GOD FUCKING JESUS
there is meji tournament in november lol and the winner gets senbatsu spot
yea, generally is the same website that shows the Summer Koshien
Owen Cooper
no worth to waching
Easton Long
[spoiler]I AM SO MAD I HAD TO MISS THIS DUE TO WORK[/spoiler] Don't bully the farmer lads It would be great if they meet in spring again More comfy threads, something to look forward to
Derp [spoiler]does ctrl+s not work anymore?[/spoiler]
Adam Baker
Fun facts >first riseisha title >first back to back provincial title since 1974 and 1975 >first non-toin osaka title since 1987 (PL Osaka domination era)
Henry Cruz
Im a pretty casual baseball fan, so its still fun, especially this one is also the koshien.
Asher Murphy
japan people are kinda mad beacuse Osaka won They hate superiority of an team, specially on Koshien when is tradition to have different winners
Camden Butler
Oh, no wonder.Whats the count now for osaka's winning streak?
Connor Harris

Thanks, thought the streak would be longer but understandable the japanese doesnt want a dominant giant to just chill on top
Camden Gray
Seiryo battery blew it by not challenging the batter after walking two in a row.
