Introduction to Karin’s Mound
About Karin’s Mound
The number of girls who play baseball are increasing year after year, however, they cannot pursue their dream to play at the Koshien Stadium, a place where the national high school baseball championship is held. This is because the regulations specify that only males are allowed to play on the field.
We want people to know that even though girls are not given the chance to play at the Koshien Stadium nor allowed to even step on the ground, there are many girls who love baseball with all their heart and practice hard.
This story was born with the passion to support these girls’ dreams of playing baseball.
