    MLB needs someone like Kawa now. That’s what it’s missing, someone to help remind everyone that baseball is supposed to be fun. I love this Guy and I’m always amazed at the baseball talent the nation of Japan produces. Thank you Munenuri San!

    Fun fact : 11:20 Kawa tried to steal the Ichiro’s 4,000th hit ball on the field, an ump asked him to hand it over but he pretended he doesn’t understand English

    He said when he contracted with Mariners minor league, he has no idea what the hell he was doing. 😂 He actually had an offer from major, Red Sox, but all he wanted to do was to be close to Ichiro. He thought it was like being in a farm team in Japanese league and it would be easy to go up to MLB…”Not the case! Do not contact with any minor league!!!😂” he said later during a Japanese interview.

I'm officially gonna sub right now! Great content. I've watched other videos about the Softbank Hawks. Can you cover other players' stories? Like the ikusei trio Senga, Kai and Makihara would be great!

    Kawasaki imitated Ichiro's swing, followed Ichiro and joined Ichiro's Major League Baseball team, and his number for the Japanese national team is the next number after Ichiro's number.

    On another video, a Japanese person commented that Kawasaki is extremely odd, and has a bizarre sense of humour in his native Japanese tongue. It’s not just cuz he’s bad at English. Lol I believe that. He’s definitely a unique rabbit. 🥕

    Just found this video man and yeah I remember him vividly even though I’m not a fan of any of the teams he played for so he’s definitely remembered. His injury tendencies and lack of power make sense with a nerve disorder. You can’t barrel the ball as consistently as he did without running into more extra base hits then Kawasaki ended up having. In the end one hell of a player and one hell of a human…

    I loved Kawa. He was an absolute fan favourite here in Toronto. His interviews especially with Barry were hilarious. Even though his English was very poor, he tried and did not wuss out and try use a translator like some spanish speaking players like Edwin Encarnacion, Vlad Guerrero Jr, Lourdes Gurriel, etc....
