We, Waseda University Baseball Club, will be conducting our 14th U.S. tour, scheduled from Monday, February 23 to Friday, March 6.

During the tour, we will play a series of exhibition games against prestigious local universities, and we would be delighted if those currently studying abroad could come and watch our games. Please refer to the match schedule below for further details.

This year’s team is led by Kazuki Kozai (Kyushu Kokusai University High School), the team captain with experience on the Japan U-18 National Team, as well as Kensei Terao (Saku Chosei High School), who has served as the cleanup hitter since last season. Centered around these key players, the team has been training rigorously with the goal of winning the league championship and becoming national champions. We would be honored if you could witness our highly competitive games on site.
