Some Irony...
So Taguchi is now playing for the Memphis Redbirds. He struggled at first, but now has hit safely in his last four games, as well as driving in a run in each of his last three. I think the faster American delivery was giving him trouble, and now he's getting used to it. (Japanese pitchers pitch in a 1-2-and-3 rhythm, pitchers in North America pitch in a 1-2-3 rhythm.) It turns out that one of his Redbirds teammates is none other than Ivan Cruz, lately of the Hanshin Tigers. Even more ironic, Taguchi lost his place on the Cardinals' 25-man roster to none other than Eduardo Perez, also lately of the Hanshin Tigers...

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.
