Captured from “The No. 1 cities that have produced many professional baseball players are Yokohama City’s Kanazawa Ward and Daito City, Osaka, home to regular Koshien schools. An independent survey of towns of interest to families raising children!” – LIFULL Co., Ltd.

This ranking appears in the mook book “教育環境で選ぶ 関西で家を買って住みたい街” supervised by the housing information service “LIFULL HOME’S.”

According to the book, the results were calculated based on the locations of the high schools attended by active professional baseball players and Major Leaguers. Each city is home to prestigious baseball schools with many Koshien appearances. In Nishinomiya City’s case, Hotoku Gakuen and, in the past, Kwansei Gakuin would likely be examples.

Finally

By the way, Daito City, which took the overwhelming No. 1 spot, was thanks to Osaka Toin. Still, even though it feels only natural emotionally that Nishinomiya City, home to Koshien Stadium, would make the ranking, it really is impressive.
