WBC: Kuroda Injured, Kubota In
Hiroshima Carp starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda pulled out of the WBC after suffering an injury to his index finger on his throwing hand. This is the first injury related to the WBC.

Hanshin Tigers closer Tomoyuki Kubota will replace Kuroda on the roster. It's bad that Kuroda got injured, but good that Kubota got a chance. Kubota went 5-4 with 27 SVs and a 2.12 ERA in 68 games with Hanshin last year. [Full MLB.com Article]

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.
