The Japanese baseball team's "Samurai Japan" has launched an unconventional support operation to win the World Baseball Classic (WBC) in March. It will fly private chartered flights to safely bring major league stars such as Shohei Ohtani (32) and Yoshinobu Yamamoto (28, LA Dodgers), whose ransom amounts to hundreds of billions of won.

According to multiple Japanese media outlets, including Sankei Sports, on the 5th, NPB (Japan Professional Baseball) Enterprise, which oversees the Japanese baseball team, airlifted special chartered planes to join the training safely and quickly. The number of Japanese major leaguers participating in this WBC is nine, the highest ever, and they seem to believe that their smooth joining is the key to winning the championship.

In the 2023 WBC preparation process, a 14-seater chartered plane was airlifted for Ohtani. In general, it is estimated that the cost of a one-way charter flight between Japan and the United States ranges from $300,000 (about 430 million won) to $400,000 (about 580 million won).

It is said that the Japanese national team has the largest number of major leaguers ever. Yoshida Yoshi, the last of the 30 final entries on the 4th, is an outfielder It was filled with Masataka (32, Boston Red Sox). I was able to join the Boston club because of the lack of approval. Yoshida said, "It's an honor to fight with the best team. I will do my part to win." As a result, the final entry was made up of players with extensive major league experience, including Tomoyuki Sugano (former Baltimore Orioles), who is looking for his team.

Currently, Major League Baseball teams' spring camps consist of Florida and Arizona. However, the Los Angeles Dodgers, which includes Ohtani and Yamamoto, reportedly set up a joining base in Arizona to hold spring camp in Arizona. Japanese Major League players hoping to board will gather in Arizona and head to Japan via chartered plane. In addition to Major League players, Ohtani's interpretation and Darvish Yu's interpretation will accompany them.

Among the members of the Japanese national team, Ohtani and Yamamoto boast an astronomical ransom. Ohtani is set for the 2024 seasonIt has signed an ultra-large contract with Juss that will receive 700 million dollars (about 1.254 trillion won) for a whopping 10 years. Yamamoto also wore a Dodgers uniform on a formidable condition of $325 million (about 476.2 billion won) for 12 years ahead of the 2024 season.

NPB players will start training in Miyazaki from the 14th, and Major League players will play spring camps and some exhibition games in their teams before joining Nagoya around late February. After working together for about a week, they will play the first match of WBC C against Taiwan at Tokyo Dome on March 6.
