📍Hanamaki Higashi High School

At Hanamaki Higashi High School, Shohei Ohtani's dual-threat talent was cultivated by coach Hiroshi Sasaki. Though initially focused on pitching and reaching the 100mph mark, Sasaki also developed Ohtani's hitting while fostering discipline both on and off the field. This unique environment inspired Ohtani to develop the unprecedented two-way skill set that would eventually make him a global baseball phenomenon.



Yusei Kikuchi (2007-2009)

Yusei Kikuchi was the prodigious ace of Hanamaki Higashi High School before Shohei Ohtani, establishing the school as a source of elite pitching talent with his dominant performances and 96 mph fastball. His success and attention from Japanese and MLB scouts, including his contemplation of jumping directly to MLB, ultimately paved the way for future stars from the school.



Rintaro Sasaki (2021-2024)

Rintaro Sasaki, the powerful first baseman and son of coach Hiroshi Sasaki, broke the Japanese high school home run record with 140 long balls at Hanamaki Higashi. Although he opted to play collegiate baseball in the U.S. instead of entering the NPB draft, his time there further solidified the school's reputation for developing top baseball talent.
