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.

Much of the article is dedicated to the environments of pitching in Boston and New York and the mental makeup of the two players. It's interesting how important the psychological aspects are being taken in all of these articles. I had thought that MLB had given up on the psych game and just cared about strength vs. strength.
