Hanshin Tigers Spring Camp report
Discussion in the Tiger Tails forum
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.

Camp MVP was Iwata who gained an accelerated promotion to the rotation. Note these assessments do not necessarily translate to good performances in the season (for example Sekimoto and Yano both earned excellent ratings in last years camp but did not translate this into good season performances).
