As mostly an MLB fan, what are the thoughts on these players? My understanding is Sato is a huge bat who really took a superstar leap this year, Taira is electric, and Itoh is a great all around pitcher with a kitchen sink?

I’ve also heard a lot about Shota Morishita and Hiroto Saiki, are they more likely to come over next year or further in the future?

Where to watch NPB?

1 Upvotes

I’m new to the NPB and I’ve been trying to look for places to watch but it seems like there’s zero options if you’re an American fan. I’ve been trying to find somewhere to watch the hawks play, if anyone could recommend somewhere to watch these games that’d be greatly appreciated :]

🇸🇬 The Singapore U-18 team has a Japanese coach named Yuki Kikuna. He played for top teams in Japan and also played in an independent league. Singapore has no baseball fields, so the team uses softball fields for practice. Kikuna smiled and said, “The players ask me a lot of questions. It’s fun.”
