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.

Resop couldn't hold the lead and Rakuten tied the game the innings after. Tigers jumped all over the Rakuten pitcher Gwyn in the sixth. Mench hit and was pinch run for by Uemoto who stole second. Katsuragi drove him in on a two base hit and then made home on a Saka hit. This was the end of the scoring and Tigers cruised to a safe victory after this. An encouraging game with lots of stealing by the Tigers (Toritani also stole third and Mench stole second).
