During the period of 2023 (target: September 2023 to December 2023), we will announce the top 5 articles that received the greatest response on NumberWeb. Click here for the 4th place in the high school baseball division! (First published on September 16, 2023/All titles and other information are as of the time)

This summer, we asked Tetsuya Hoshi, the manager of the baseball specialty store Baseman Tachikawa and known as “the man with baseball equipment vision of over 2.0,” to check out trends in the world of high school baseball. New Balance’s spikes were unexpectedly rejected by Takanoren… What was the surprising development after that?[First of two times/Go to #2]

–In the “Latest Baseball Equipment Collection” report after the selection tournament, we published the news that New Balance’s new spikes had been suspended from sale due to violation of regulations, which became a huge topic on the Internet. However, although there were some aspects that seemed to have been misinterpreted, that doesn’t mean that Takanoren was bad.

Tetsuya Hoshi (below, Hoshi)Rather than Takanoren, New Balance’s checks were simply too lenient. The logo on the tongue (shoe tongue) was so large that the product could not be used in official matches, but normally the manufacturer and Takanoren would check three or four times to make sure it was made according to regulations. Looks like he’s going to do some work. However, since New Balance is a foreign company, I didn’t know anything about that. I think New Balance was a good learning experience.

–However, are New Balance spikes as popular as ever, partly due to Shohei Otani’s contract?

starThere are currently no products for high school baseball, but the ones for grass baseball are on sale and are so popular that it’s hard to find them in stock. This may be due to the small number of products produced, but even when they appear in stores, they are quickly sold out. After all, the cushioning properties are different. If New Balance releases cleats for high school baseball next year, it will be a threat to other manufacturers. However, Japanese manufacturers are also working hard. Starting this summer, ASICS has released a next-generation shoe with resin points similar to soccer cleats. When I tried them on, they felt incredibly comfortable on the soles of my feet.
