The online course "World Baseball Circumstances" that Miyazaki University has been offering for about a year since April 2021 has ended.Inviting Japanese instructors who have experience teaching baseball in various countries around the world, this course has introduced the situation of each country different from Japan 4 times, and 1 to 20 people from all over the country took it each time.

 According to Miyazaki University, baseball is one of the most popular sports in Japan, but it is still a minor sport limited to North America and East Asia in the world.Since Miyazaki Prefecture has a close relationship with baseball as a campground for professional baseball, Miyazaki University planned to introduce the Japanese people who are focusing on the spread of baseball in the world and the situation of baseball in each country.

 In the 20 lectures, we introduced mainly areas where baseball is not widespread, such as Sri Lanka in South Asia, Bangladesh, Tanzania in Africa, Burkina Faso, Austria in Europe, and Hungary.The instructors were Katsuhito Koyama, the referee of the WBSC Asia, and Tadahito Mori, the secretary general of the Japan Professional Baseball Players Association.

 In the South Asian edition of Nepal, Sri Lankan Sujiwa Wijayanayaka and Nepalese Isso Tapa, who were the first foreign referees at Koshien in the summer, introduced the history and current situation of Nepalese baseball.Hiromi Taniguchi, who was the representative of Japan for the Atlanta Olympics in Barcelona, ​​took the stage in the South Sudan edition of Africa.
