There are reasons galore to visit baseball stadiums this season, but seeing star players' perform in person is definitely one of them.

With their credentials earned overseas, Kim Tae-kyun, Lee Seung-yeop, and Park Chan-ho stand out more than others.

Are there any other former Japanese Leaguers currently playing in the KBO besides those mentioned?

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.
