Oisix Niigata Albirex baseball club promotions

Entities: Oisix Niigata Albirex Baseball Club · Hard Off Eco Stadium · Takara‑yama Brewery · Yuki Saito · Yamada Ryusei

Overview

In late July 2026 Oisix Niigata Albirex announced a series of promotional events for its August NPB farm‑league home games, including opening‑pitch ceremonies on 12 August (former Takarazuka star Ryū Koshino) and 13 August (Miss Earth Japan 2015 winner Ayano Yamada) as part of a “West‑Ward DAY” drive, and free student admission for four games on 9, 11, 12 and 13 August. A later release detailed a three‑day “West District DAY” from 11–13 August at Hard Off Eco Stadium, adding ceremonial first pitches by Olympic bronze‑medalist snowboarder Yamada Ryusei, former Takarazuka star Eno Ryu and regional ambassador Yamada Ayano, alongside local food stalls featuring Kurozaki edamame and Niigata sake from Takara‑yama Brewery. The club, sponsored by food‑delivery firm Oisix, frames these activities under its “Summer Experience” initiative to boost youth participation and showcase regional specialties.

The promotion continued into September, with former professional pitcher Yuki Saito scheduled to throw the ceremonial first pitch at the club’s home game against the Saitama Seibu Lions on 6 September, further extending the high‑profile first‑pitch series and reinforcing the club’s community‑engagement strategy.
