Baseball United to find players through Japan's reality series
Baseball United, the pro league focused on the Middle East and South Asia, will partner with Tokyo Broadcast System (TBS) to give young Japanese hopefuls a shot at becoming professional players. The competition series, called TRYOUT: PLAN D, will see hundreds of prospects competing for two roster spots on the Mid East Falcons, one of Baseball United's founding franchises. The winners will play for the Falcons later this year during Baseball United's inaugural season in Dubai. The series will be presented in collaboration with TBS's iconic documentary programme Birthday, known for its behind-the-scenes look at athletes' transformative journeys. TRYOUT participants will endure several stages of competition, from July to November. One pitcher and one batter will ultimately be selected through a series of intense challenges that measure baseball skill, mental toughness, physical fitness and passion for the game. The winners will be announced just before the start of Baseball United's first season, which begins on November 14 in Dubai. " TRYOUT is more than just a competition – it's a celebration of culture, a catalyst of opportunity, and a testament of resilience. We are honored to collaborate with TBS and the legendary Birthday team to bring this vision to life," said Kash Shaikh, Chairman, CEO, and Co-Founder, Baseball United. TRYOUT will begin airing in July on TBS linear and digital platforms, with behind-the-scenes content and exclusive footage shared across Baseball United's global channels. The two winners will be officially introduced as members of the Mid East Falcons before the team's game against the Karachi Monarchs, on Wednesday, November 19. "Partnering with Baseball United for TRYOUT allows us to elevate that mission by offering young Japanese players the opportunity of a lifetime – to transform their lives through sport, and to do so on a truly international platform," said Hidemitsu Takahashi, Producer of the show from Tokyo Broadcasting System.
