Rookies in Baseball



So, this is my blog, a new place that I can express my thought and mind! It looks this blog is easy to use and a great appearance.

I have my own website in Japanese. I've been writing things in that page for years. Now I want to write in English too.

Last night, I saw a big hype about a major league new pitcher on many website. His name is Daisuke Matsuzaka. Yes, he is a Japanese pitcher. Usually, a Japanese major league player does not make a big news in the U.S. But he is a special one. It looks people here wants to see some miracle... lol. No, he is not a miracle boy. He sure is a great pitcher and has been called "the Monster" in Japan. But, no, he is a human being. Apparently he was distracted with flashbulbs and the matchup with Ichiro, his senior player in the major. Now, Dice-K may be feeling at ease after his first defeat.

Honestly, I was more excited about another pitcher story in Japan, in Japanese Professional BaseBall League. He is a rookie, 18 years old, a former Koshien star like Dice-K. I am hoping him to be the next superstar.
