He left his hometown of Hokkaido to attend Teikyo Nagaoka High School in Niigata. When he entered high school, former professional baseball player Hiroshi Shibakusa took the position of sports manager. Through personal training with the manager, Ibaraki increases his maximum throwing speed from 130 km/h to 147 km/h[1]. During the summer of his third year of high school, he reached the finals of the Niigata Prefectural Tournament as an ace and faced Nihon Bunri High School. After a pitching battle that lasted 11 extra innings with opposing ace Haruya Tanaka, he suffered a defeat [2] . He would not participate in the Koshien tournament again until three years later.
