Todai is horrible. Absolutely horrible.
I saw them play once last year - the only Monday game they had, because I think they only won one game all year to begin with. They scored one run and it was an inside-the-park error (I don't know how to describe it, besides that someone bunted, the catcher overthrew first, the ball went into the outfield, ended up in the corner, and by the time it was recovered, the dude had managed to score). So they just got trampled by Rikkio.
I'm actually not sure they've ever had a winning season. They definitely never won a championship. But at least their marching band is really really good.

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.

Given, the only reason I'm following the Big 6 league is because of Yuu-chan. But I wasn't expecting this from Waseda on opening weekend:
4/12 Game 1 vs. Todai (aka Tokyo Daigaku) W 11-0
4/13 Game 2 vs. Todai W 28-0!!
Yuu-chan pitched in the 2nd game:
CG, faced 1 more than the minimum, 93 pitches, 4 hits, 5 K's, 0 BB's.
Perhaps Todai just isn't that good.
In other games:
4/12 - Keio def. Rikkyo 4-3
4/13 - Keio def. Rikkyo 4-1
4/14 - Keio vs. Rikkyo (No info)
