Japan's 2003 World Cup Team

Discussion in the Ask the Commish forum
Japan's 2003 World Cup Team
I have almost all of the information I need for the 24-player roster from Japan that played in the 2003 World Cup tournament, in Cuba. However, from the stats page for the Cup, there was no listing of the batting hand for position players or pitching hand for the pitchers. I don't think any of them are Japan Leaguers. If anyone could fill in the righty/lefty info for me, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, directly by e-mail would be best: belinyoh at charter d0t net.

Sincere thanks.

Browse through this page. It has Bats/Throws handedness for all of the player who were/are in Nippon Professional Baseball who attended. You will find some spellings different, like Ito is Itoh (the long "o" is transliterated as "h" on the back of players' uniforms, which is the convention I use). That should narrow it down to just a few missing names who weren't drafted since then at most.

Hope this helps.

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.
