Features of “MS CRAFT BASEBALL TURF-V”

Saitama Seibu Lions player Takumi Kuriyama’s comment
When I practiced for the first time in 2016 after the artificial turf was put up, it was easy to charge up defensively and I felt like I could hit the ball hard. I heard that the performance of the same Mizuno artificial turf has improved this time, so I’m happy to be able to play in a good environment next season. I am looking forward to playing in front of the fans in a new environment under the new coach Matsui!
Environment-friendly artificial turf “MS CRAFT” series
Mizuno sells the “MS CRAFT” series, which is made by specially crimping the pile of artificial grass (Mizuno Spiral Technology). The special crimping process reduces pile tearing and suppresses scattering and outflow of filler rubber chips, etc., contributing to the suppression of outflow of microplastics.

In recent years, with the increase in sales and use of artificial turf, the prevention of the outflow of microplastics derived from artificial turf into the ocean has been emphasized, and local governments and companies have begun to take environmental measures.
The “MS CRAFT BASEBALL TURF-V” to be sold this time is an artificial turf whose pile strength is approximately 1.7 times higher than conventional products, so it can be expected to further suppress the outflow of microplastics.
Going forward, we will continue to promote SDGs activities in the field of sports fields in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
