We stand with the players who fell short—
and we're rebuilding the business of sport.
After a year of trying, I finally made my college baseball team—only to run straight into the limits of my own ability. I trained harder than anyone; that much I could say with confidence. And still, I wasn't even close.
I never made it off the bench. It was in that moment of frustration that I discovered the winter leagues in America. I didn't earn a contract—but that bitter feeling finally found peace, and I was able to close the chapter on my life as a player.
That experience is what led me to launch a winter league here in Japan.
Today, I run this business with a clear mission: to stand with the players who fell short, and to rebuild the business of sport.
