Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), which has organized these events, is looking to continue this practice as warm-up for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in the next Novembers. Currently they are focusing on the World Baseball Classic, but will set their sights toward the Olympic Games after the tournament next March.
