In 1990 perhaps...
Kiyohara has had a nice career with 450 homeruns. But I have to say, I've been kind of disappointed. If I remember correctly, turning pro from PL Gakuen and hitting 31 homers in his rookie season made him the Hideki Matsui of the late 80s to early 90s. Unfortunately, Kiyohara's rookie year was one of the best years in his career.

Kiyohara was until several years ago.
But I agree with Ogasawara being the best.
He is really good.

Kiyohara and Ogaswara are by far the best Japanese 1st basemen. In the MLB the best 1st basemen are Jason Giambi of the New York Yankees and Jim Thome of the Philidalphia Phillies.
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.
