Hokkaido Nippon-Ham 'Hiromi Ito invites children to his "Hiromi Seat"

Hokkaido Nippon-Ham... Hiromi Ito pitcher will set up "Oumi Seats" again this year at the games hosted by ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO. The program is open to children living in children's homes in Hokkaido, as well as organizations and children who have joined and are active in the Hokkaido Network of Children's Shokudo (Children's Cafeterias).

The "Oumi Seat" will be launched in 2022.

It is a social contribution activity that invites 8 children to each game.

Ito pitcher comments
I hope that the sport of baseball will inspire children who need support for various reasons and those who are challenging themselves to achieve big dreams for the future as if they were going out to sea, to have dreams and hopes, and that the excitement and excitement brought by professional games will lead to their future growth and independence. We hope that the excitement and excitement brought by professional play will lead to their future growth and independence. We will continue to play with all our might in the 2025 season by turning the cheers of everyone sitting in our oumi seats into strength."
