On the 7th, Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters Co., Ltd. and The Fighters Sports & Entertainment Co., Ltd. announced their intention to relocate their farm facility in Kamagaya City, Chiba Prefecture to Hokkaido.
CBO Hideki Kuriyama, who spoke at the press conference, commented, “The Fighters have placed importance on development and scouting for many years. I would like to create a true development base in Hokkaido. A wonderful baseball stadium, ES CON FIELD Hokkaido, has been built, and in addition to that progress, what we need now is a place to truly develop people. I believe that unless we create a base for conditioning and physical development, we will not be able to create a team that can compete on the world stage. It is necessary for the community to demonstrate its awareness of developing people through sports. Just as the people of Hokkaido have developed their players, I would like to develop young players together with the community.”
