Posted By: Hija Chang on July 25, 2026 The Nippon Professional Baseball Organization has announced the appointment of Iguchi Tadahito as the new manager of Japan's national baseball team. Iguchi played professional baseball both in Japan and the United States. The selection of a successor to former manager Ibata Hirokazu had been underway after the national team was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the World Baseball Classic in March this year. The NPB revealed Iguchi's appointment on Saturday. He is the national team's first manager to have played in Major League Baseball. Iguchi spoke at a news conference in Tokyo about his ambitions for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Iguchi said he wants to lead his team to the top of the world by bringing out the talent of the best players to the fullest extent, and combining Japan's traditions and strength. While at university, Iguchi was a member of the national team at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. The team won a silver medal. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20...
