The Pro Yakyu Report Vol. 1.20 - First Pitches

During the BayStars vs. Giants game on May 11, 2013 in Niiganta, the announcers commented that the BayStars were going after a lot of first pitches from Tomoyuki Sugano. In this episode, I explore that claim and find an interesting result.

Awesome Stuff!! Where do you get the box scores?

One thing on my list is to get to a 3 game Baystar home series against any other Central League team!!

Thanks for all of your coverage! Much appreciated!!

Take Care,

Thank you.

The box score is from a service I've written for Major League clubs. The layout is very standard in both Japan and Korea. I don't know why Americans tolerate those simple tables that pass as box scores over there.

As for a three game series against another CL club, you'll have to wait until the end of June when Inter-league ends. Just a month or so to go. I hope you enjoy it.
