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.

Ford
Tigers No 1 pick in the 2008 Draft Tanaka also took part and was rated at 4. Ford's low score in both camps is worrying but as per the previous report - this does not necessarily reflect the performance in the season. Camp MVP this time went to Saka who is being considered as a starting second base for the Open Sen matches
