2002 Fielding Data
So, are these your picks for possible posting/free agents next season? What ever they're for, I look forward to how you use the data.
- So, are these your picks for possible posting/free agents next season?
For the most part. Matsui, Kokubo, and Iguchi are safe bets, Iwamura wouldn't surprise me at all, and Johjima and Imaoka are dark horses. I don't see Abe leaving the Giants for a long, long time but he intrigues me -- young All-Star catchers are rare to say the least.
- I look forward to how you use the data.
I plan on putting together some tables similar to the ones used to analyze Nakamura's defense, but with career numbers instead of 2001 data.
Can you add stolden bases allowed and caught stealing numbers for Johjima. And can you flush out Furuta and Tanishige's career defensive stats as well, including the aforementioned? Thanks.
No rush, of course. Just getting ready to tackle defense behind the plate.
Nonetheless, here's the 2002 catcher vs. base runner data:

Finally, I'm checking things off of my TODO list. This feels good.
Nonetheless, I've found the missing '>' and corrected it. Should be good to go now. Thanks for the bug report.
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.

Because come Spring this site will be bombarded with queries about Hideki Matsui (mostly from people who don't care one way or the other about Pro Yakyu), I've also entered his fielding data since 1995 (which is as far back as my paper records go right now). Now I can point such inquiries to Matsui's profile page without much interference.
As usual, if you have a player in particular you want more information on, please feel free to ask. I'll get to it as soon as I can.
