All about Professional Baseball in Japan, and Japanese baseball players worldwide. Anyone can post news, commentary, videos, and questions about baseball in Japan. If a Japanese baseball player outside of Japan interests you, post away.

*It's ok to post a Japanese link, but please try to describe a summary in the comments, for those that can't read Japanese. (日本語の記事も大丈夫ですが、こちらの購読者はほとんど外国人なので、タイトルだけ英訳で投稿してみてください)

RULES

No direct links to non-legal streams
No selling of personal tickets or merchandise
No betting or asking for betting tips. Betting on baseball is currently illegal in Japan.

Sidestepping rules enforced by AutoMod will result in a temporary 1 week ban. Any future infractions will result in a permanent ban. Useless bots will be banned on the spot.
We have implemented an auto-removal rule for certain external links that have seen an increase in spamming on reddit.

We're always looking for help, so if you'd like to help out with updates, records or information, please feel free to message the moderators with how you'd like to contribute.
