Challenge for the next 20 years

- Creating a new baseball environment for the next 20 years -

Ballpark.com was established in Miyazaki City in September 2002, and 20 years have passed. 
Beginning September 2022, we are entering a new 20 years. Ballpark.com will continue to take on the challenge of creating a new baseball environment in the next 20 years while adapting to the ever-changing baseball environment.

Miyazaki, where Ballpark.com is located, is where the Yomiuri Giants who have been camping there since 1959, Fukuoka Softbank Hawks, Orix Buffaloes, Hiroshima Toyo Carp, Saitama Seibu Lions, Tokyo Yakult Swallows, and Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles all come for spring training. It is also known as the "Sacred Ground of Spring Baseball". During Fall, the Miyazaki Phoenix League, an NPB educational league, is held in Miyazaki, and players from all professional baseball teams visit Miyazaki.

Not only professional baseball teams but also many amateur teams of adults, universities, and high schools visit Miyazaki, and about 20,000 athletes from various sports sweat it out at tournaments, camps, and training camps held in Miyazaki every year.

Ballpark.com is committed to fulfilling our social responsibility as a baseball equipment manufacturer by taking advantage of the mild climate, the excellent facilities, and the intangible assets that our predecessors have cultivated here at Miyazaki, and by making the most of Miyazaki's resources.

We would also like to contribute to regional development and employment through our involvement in the management of various tournaments, including Wagyu JB gloves made of leather from Miyazaki Prefecture cattle, management of professional baseball stadiums, and international tournaments.

We aim for further development with our management philosophy of creating opportunities for "exchange" through sports, staying close to each customer, continuing to "contribute" to society, and creating products that help the next generation of players "improve" their baseball skills.

Ballpark.com's challenge has just begun.
We at ballpark.com will continue to run with you for the next 20 years.
