Think You Can Hit?
Check out this new batting machine [English - Mainichi Daily News] down in Kitakyushu. Anyone here want to give it a try?

There was a segment on TV here a little while back about a middle school kid who could hit the pitches from 180-200. Granted he never pulled the ball, but he was making pretty good contact on most of the pitches. I think the program was called "Miracle Kids" or something like that. They had "Punch" Satoh from Orix try it out, and he couldn't hit it.

Here are some YouTube clips of the pitching machine:

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.
