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.

You cannot view all players' Individual Attributes whenever you wish at the press of a button. PawaMajor lets you do this with the "Triangle" button.
I love 11 Chou Ketteiban's gameplay, but I wish I could check stuff like Righty-Lefty matchups in key situations.
Well, I've stumbled across a pretty good solution. Check out the following:

Don't worry if you see a bunch of gibberish. Just find the year and edition of the game that you wish to view and click the corresponding link. The rest should seem readily apparent.
For non-Japanese speakers, here's a great way to learn players' names:

or

These books list players' names in Japanese and English side-by-side. So you can easily look people up. I use the 2006 edition for Pro Spirits 3. And I use both the 2004 and 2005 editions for 11 Chou Ketteiban as some overlap exists in the Pawapuro Final Editions. I got my three books from yakyushop.net.
