Nihon University Third High School, aiming for their third championship and first in 14 years at the Summer Koshien, boasts their traditional powerful batting lineup. In the four games so far, the team has marked a batting average of .317 and has scored more than five runs per game on average.

The core of the batting lineup is second-year cleanup hitter Ryo Tanaka, who has hit two home runs so far and maintained a .444 batting average, driving in runs in every game and showcasing his impressive clutch performance.

Ace pitcher Yuki Kondo took advantage of his precise control to appear in all four games, pitching over 30 innings with an ERA of 1.

Although Okinawa Shogaku has won the Spring Senbatsu before, they are aiming for their first victory at the Summer Koshien. Their strength lies in their solid defense, centered around two second-year pitchers, one right-handed and one left-handed.

Of these, the ace left-handed pitcher Ryosuke Sueyoshi uses a fastball in the 140 km/h range and a sharp slider as his weapons, and so far has pitched just over 32 innings with an ERA of 1.

Right-handed pitcher Arakaki Yuken also pitched with a lively fastball mixed with slow breaking balls, throwing over 14 innings with an ERA of 0.

The team had boasted a solid defense, committing only one error in nine games from the regional tournament to the quarterfinals, but with four errors in the semifinals, they need to regroup quickly.
