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.

His power seems to have gone up and steals drastically down. Is his speed still the same (extra base hits and infield-singles), and has his defense stayed just as stellar, or is this a player living on his reputation?
I'd like to hear some responses from actual viewers of Japanese baseball. Thanks.
