Kenji Yano
The young Giants' backup outfielder Kenji Yano is making a run for the title of "Daida no Kami-sama" or "God of Pinch Hitting" after hitting the deciding pinch hit solo homer against the Fighters last night. I believe he hit a pinch hit homer against Lotte a few days ago, and he also hit a huge pinch hit grand slam shortly before that.

So what is the story on young Kenji? He had a lot of at bats last season to earn a spot as a regular, but didn't do too well. I've also read that he is very raw out in the field, too. Is this role as clutch pinch hitter something he'll thrive in?

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.
