Until a few years back, the Diamondbacks had Jim Traber doing radio for them and Rod Allen doing commentary on TV which I thought was interesting since they played in Japan at the same time and they both charged the mound (in separate incidents) and started a bench-clearing brawl that they still show sometimes on those "Kou-Chin Play" shows.

Listened to two of them. Orestes is pretty great as a color man and analyst, but DJ is just awful. I remember a home run call he made when Hawk was gone that was like, "That one's hit hard. It's going back there. And there it is." in the most monotone uninterested voice. He's a funny guy, whether he tries to be or not.

I forgot to mention that Royals play-by-play man, Ryan Lefebvre, is the son of former Lotte Orions infielder and later Lotte coach Jim Lefebvre.

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.
