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.

OPS/Production is my favorite of all the newer baseball stats, because it is easy to understand (on base percentage plus slugging percentage) and it very closely aligns with offensive value (any player with an OPS over .900 is a good offensive player and can help a team score runs).
