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.

The 13th Japanese player to cross the Pacific, Komiyama is reported to have agreed to a two year deal for $200,000 with a total of $900,000 in incentives.
The 36 year old 12 year veteran pitcher will be the oldest "rookie" in the Majors next season.
A select set of Komiyama's stats can be found here.
