I have been watching Japanese baseball for nearly 10 years
Now Japanese baseball world tends to place more emphasis on youth than achievement.
Justin verlander? Max scherzer? I’m not interested in old.
Look, the 22-years-old rookie will throw a 90-mile fast ball.
It's not a joke, it's like this.
Is this also in your country's sports world?

>Is this also in your country's sports world?
mostly yes. I think it stems from the fact that a young player hasn't yet reached full potential yet and fans/media imagine what he's capable of. Also, pls keep Ohtani healthy

Unfortunately Otani is injured on his legs.
The adjustment as a pitcher was not about two months.
he is also adjusting as a batter.
Even if Otani becomes a two way of Major and AAA, please forgive him
By the way, there are five former Major leagers in the team I support.
Garrett Jones (NYY)
Casey McGehee (DET)
Luis Cruz (NYY)
Scott mathieson (PHI)
Arquimedes Caminero (SEA)
I absolutely believe in them.

If he does make it to the MLB, I hope he goes to an AL team so he can be a designated hitter on days when he's not pitching
OP, do you not value wining? Do you not want to see your team win games?
Then what does it matter if the player is 40 or 20 as long as they win?
Is gook baseball that bad that the experienced, older ones are trash?
Because it doesnt mean shit if they are young unless you discussing about energy or running

It is natural that you expect from players who have contributed even a little to victory.
It is absurd to expect from athletes who have not accomplished anything.
Of course, 40 years old players not doing anything have no value.

There is a religion that "young athletes are better determined".
Eventually they will rely on "experience" in the end
OP, what do you think of Ichiro?
>>75417667
Ichiro is a very great player. I am very proud.
Continue playing game, hitting repeatedly, genius magician,
"Continuing" is a very difficult thing.
Unlike Matsui Hideki, Ichiro is not a World Series MVP, but that is another story.
