The Return of Masao Kida
Kida came into the 7th inning of the Tigers-Mariners game at Comerica Park tonight and threw two pretty solid innings for Seattle in a 10-7 loss to Detroit. He gave up 2 hits, a 7th inning single to Dimitri Young and an 8th inning homer to Chris Shelton, no walks and no K's. It looked like he might have finally learned to throw his breaking ball near the strike zone, which he never could do when he pitched for Detroit back in 1999.

I couldn't believe that he was still hanging around. Good for him for toughing it out and making it back to the majors. That's some commitment and drive.

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.
