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.

And the game went about as fast as the Shinkansen. Yazu's ace Hiragi faced only 2 more than the minimum and Utsunomiya Minami's ace Yamai faced only 3 more.
In the end, it was Yazu who was able to string something together in the 5th inning with a timely 2 out hit to score 3B Yamazumi who had led off the inning with a walk. And that was enough for Yazu to win 1-0.
That's pretty much it. Really.
