Yamagomori

Yamagomori
Does anyone know if teams still engage in the yamagomori training practices in the Winter? I know that Puro Yakyu is full of "new breed" types these days, but old habits die hard and I wonder if there is still the expectation that players go through the rigorous personal test of yamagomori.

Please let me know.

Hello, I'm a Japanese. What is "Yamagomori"? (^-^)

Of course the word exists. But players do "Yamagomori" in order to escape from the mass media or pretend that they practice hard. Generally they don't practice hard. Actually I hear that they only take a hot spring bath or warm up.

Of course it's applicable in the past. In Japan, perhaps nobody believes "Yamagomori."

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
