Industrial League (eg. Seadax, Honda, etc.)

The Industrial League teams are members of the Japan Amateur Baseball Association. Unlike NPB's official home page, they do provide contact information on their web site. They'll best be able to answer your question(s).

If you learn anything from there, it would be great if you could follow up on it with a short report here. Even if it's to say that they couldn't answer your question (so that I don't give this advice any more).

Hope this helps.

Yes, I spoke with a few teams. Shidax was not one of them. The sites are in all Japanese. For any potential ball players, this is how it works:

You must work for the parent company, then you have an "oppurtunity" to play for that particular ball club, hence your salary. If you are good enough it is more than likey that a NPB team would give you a look or two. This is information I recieved from a clubs' coach near Niigata. I am sorry I can't remember the name of the company, sorry.

Also, they do not offer tryouts since you have to work for the company, but they do scout players in high school, and college (Japanese).

Well, for anyone who is interested in this way of playing baseball on a minor league level and have a stable job, I suggest this.

I hope this can shed some light on this subject.
