Oh, great! I saw the first four innings of this game before I had to go to work. Baba, a left handed pitcher, looked very good, but his catcher was setting up pretty far outside a lot of the time and dropped a bunch of third strikes. I think they said that he was usually a relief pitcher and that Kubo was actually the team ace. I'm glad to hear they won.
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.
