It looks like there will be an event on Sunday, January 12 where you can pitch from the mound at Hanshin Koshien Stadium.
Here’s what it includes:
- Pitching from the mound at Koshien Stadium
- Having your name announced on the field by the stadium announcer
I’m sure many people would love to experience having their name announced by the stadium announcer.
