ー『Co-creation of Tradition and Innovation ~Challenges for the New Era 2025~』ー
We are now in the year 2025, 23 years after our founding in 2002. We at Ballpark.com will continue to evolve our “change-oriented corporate DNA”. In the age of coexistence with AI, the way of being of a baseball equipment manufacturer is changing drastically. We are determined to establish a new model of social contribution through sports, aiming to harmonize the skills of local artisans and cutting-edge technology.
The use of local resources, as represented by Wagyu JB Glove, is becoming increasingly valuable in today's globalized world. While leveraging this strength, we will actively introduce AI and digital technology to pursue innovation in all aspects of our business, from product development to after-sales service.
In addition, taking advantage of its location in Miyazaki, the “Mecca of Spring Camp,” we will continue to reform the operation of the facility and the holding of events by incorporating the latest technology to provide a better environment for the more than 20,000 athletes, both professional and amateur, who come to Miyazaki each year.
Our goal is not mere technological innovation. Our goal is to continue to provide better products and services to all baseball lovers, in harmony with tradition and innovation. We look forward to working together with you in 2025, this new year of challenge.
