Lions sign P Eric Wordekemper
With Dioni Soriano suffering from an elbow injury and Jon Leicester struggling the President 7-Eleven Lions have signed right handed pitcher Eric Wordekemper. The 28 year old was 3-3 with a 3.60 ERA in 42 games last season for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees of the Triple-A International League. Wordekemper possesses a 96 mile per hour fastball.

On opening day Leicester surrendered four runs as the Leos fell 5-3 to the Brother Elephants before a full house of 10,000 fans at Tianmu Stadium in Taipei.

Here is an article on Wordekemper from the Storm Lake Pilot Tribune [Link].
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.
