Iriki failed to recieved any bids [Japan Ball]. This is the second time a Japanese player failed to recieve any bids on the posting system (Akinori Ohtsuka, 2002).

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.

Many people mistakenly think that Ichiro was the first player to be posted to MLB. That is not correct, it was Hiroshima's Kesada who came up through the Carp's Dominican Academy. Kesada played in only 34 ichi-gun games for Hiroshima in 1998, batting .311 (19 for 61) with 3 home runs and 9 RBI, striking out 14 times and walking just twice.
Ichiro was the first Japanese player to have been posted.
