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.

I know you get a lot of stats questions, but after hours and hours of searching, I can't find this on my own. I'm looking for Matsuzaka's career pitching splits for performance vs righties and vs lefty hitters. I found the 2006 splits (by splits I mean joukenbetsu seiseki) on the yahoo.co.jp site, but they don't have career numbers, just 2006.
Does anyone know if this is readily available somewhere, in English or Japanese (either is fine)? The more detailed the better, so, splits vs righties and lefties including BAA, K/BB rates, ERA, and WHIP. Though if anyone just has the raw data for righties and lefties, I could do the calcs myself.
Domo domo.
