How many college baseball players playing in Japan?

According to the data provided by Japanese University baseball federation, there are 26 college baseball leagues, 381 college teams total, in Japan.


Players data: Japanese University baseball federation

Players who registered for those leagues are 23,420 (in 2011), which means average number of players in a team is 61.
Some college teams have more than 100 players, and even some high school baseball teams in Japan have more than 100 players.

When I was in college, Aoyama Gakuin University, we have about 40 players, but still that was very small baseball team compare to other college teams in Japan.
