Because it's a perfectly designed sport that is all about building tension which Japanese culture seems to love. From film making, television, manga and animu, the Japanese appreciate a well built moment and that's where baseball surpasses any other sport. Every pitch is build up in a competition between batter and pitcher.

It's a very dramatic sport with perfectly designed rules.

originally it was brought over by japanese immigrants to the US that returned home in the early 20th century. babe ruth went there in the 30s, that was big for the sport's growth.

it actually took a downturn during the war because it was seen as an american institution. relations between the countries have been good since though, and they've had a professional league there for over 50 years.

Probably the same as Koreans, it's a very balanced sport that values fundamentals and not flair/fashion, so it is respected in culture.

You might think it's a meme but it show in different play style. Korean baseball is a medium but japs get 50 bunts per year and throw 8 pitches, and nothing over 155kmph. There was a meme match in kbo that was double 15 inning complete game, both with 230 pitch count out of respect.

Samurai culture. The bat is their sword. The duel with the pitcher is not unlike a showdown between swordsmen.

Emphasis on pure skill, which the Japanese value higher in sports than athletic based sports like basketball.

Pretty bad punctuation you got there, "English teacher." Not to mention that bad case of anti-Jappo cynicism that it seems every faggot catches while they delude their own weeb asses into staying there.
