Anraku's career record in NPB is 5-14 with an ERA of 4.01. Gondo and Fleisig's opinion would seem vindicated. It would be interesting to hear how Anraku feels these days about the way he was treated back then.
In the end when they do make it to the MLB or Japanese majors, their arms and elbows fall apart. It happened with Yu Darvish and it's happened to a lot of Japanese pitchers over here
@@superninja252 thats why their arms go out by the time they are 30 compared to US and Latin pitchers who if they are consistent can pitch past 40. Look at Bartolo Colon, fat as shit and he was able to pitch until he was 45
Japanese pitchers in my opinion have good mechanics which usually prevent arm injuries but throwing that many pitchers can put you at greater risk for that
Japanese “YAKYU-baseball” has a unique spirit that took root and developed over more than 100 years after it was imported to Japan from the American style of baseball. In fact, there is another type of baseball on the earth today that exists in a different spirit from the American style. Of course, the roots of baseball are in the U.S. (or the U.K.), but baseball was exported from the U.S. to other countries, and the baseball that took root there developed in a different way. This would be a fact that has happened on the planet. The 2023 WBC was the day that “Japanese-style baseball (YAKYU)” defeated the home of “American-style baseball.” To put it another way, it was a battle between Japanese-style baseball “ZEN-IN-baseball (all members),” which emphasizes “teamwork of all players,” and American-style baseball, which emphasizes “individual power.” The result was the day that Japanese-style “ZEN-IN-baseball (YAKYU) (organized baseball emphasizing teamwork)” won over American-style baseball. This difference is due to the difference in background culture, history, and environment. However, the real and obvious cause of the difference is largely due to the difference in the two countries' educational methods in “high school baseball education.” Japan's professional baseball system consists of 12 teams in two leagues, and almost all of the players who join these teams as professional players come from Japanese high school baseball clubs, and have played in the “Koshien Tournament,” a national high school baseball tournament that has been held annually since 1915 (more than 100 years). Japan is divided into 47 prefectures, each of which has one (or more than one in large autonomous regions) winning team from each regional tournament. 56 teams (2018) will gather at the Koshien Tournament to compete for the championship of the best high school in Japan in a sudden-death tournament format over a two-week period. Almost all Japanese high school baseball players spend three years practicing baseball in order to participate in and win this annual Koshien Tournament. Although the Koshien Tournament is a tournament for high school students, it has a history of more than 100 years, and because it is participated by the regional representatives of the 47 local autonomous regions of Japan, the level of interest and enthusiasm is unusually high throughout Japan. The interest in the Koshien Tournament is much higher than that of professional baseball. Of course, every Japanese player who has made it to the major leagues, without exception, has either participated or aspired to participate in the Koshien Tournament when they were in high school. That is how influential the Koshien Tournament is in Japanese high school baseball. During the three years of high school baseball education, they are taught the basics of baseball skills, physical fitness, winning strategies, teamwork, manners, and character development. The stoicism toward the improvement of baseball skills, the obsession with winning, and the behavior seen in Japanese players such as Shohei Ohtani and Ichiro were also greatly influenced by their three years of high school club activities during which they competed hard to win the Koshien Tournament. The secret of why Ohtani often says that he prioritizes his team's winning and World Series championships over his own individual results, and why he is still committed to self-discipline and technical improvement, is largely due to the baseball education they received during their high school years, when they were aiming to win the Koshien Tournament. The Koshien Tournament has a large number of participating teams and is a sudden death tournament. Therefore, no matter how well-rounded and strong the team is, if they fail to score a single run in a single game, they are eliminated from the tournament and their three years of hard work comes to naught. Do you have any idea how difficult and frightening this is for these players who have worked so hard every day to play baseball? So they are willing to sacrifice themselves and cooperate with their team members in order to score one point more than the other team. They naturally learn to put the team first and act in a cooperative manner, where everyone tries to score one more point in order to win the game. The uniqueness of Japanese-style organized baseball ”YAKYU” is partly due to the uniqueness of Japanese culture, but it is more influenced by the experience of going through the Koshien tournament, which almost all high school baseball players go through.
I’d like to see the Tommy John numbers between American and Japanese pitchers. Japanese pitchers have near perfect mechanics. It’s still too many pitches, but 130 perfect form pitches is still better than 70 of the max effort arm destroyers American pitchers throw.
By the time they get to the MLB their arms are already shot do to overuse. This leads to them being more prone to injury and unable to perform at the same level they use to.
Small schools in japan can’t do anything about using the same pitchers over and over since those small schools don’t have a lot of good baseball players wanting to join them and the schools go around the city and prefectures to find players to join them and offer scholarships so people who aren’t that good and still want to play will join small schools to try and win a championship for the school

yea but what they care much about High school than MLB there
@@superninja252 thats why their arms go out by the time they are 30 compared to US and Latin pitchers who if they are consistent can pitch past 40. Look at Bartolo Colon, fat as shit and he was able to pitch until he was 45
yeah, but i feel yu darvish is getting better since his time in the MLB. better as in physically healthier.

This is a very old school mentality.

Don't they get hurt after they went to MLB?
By the time they get to the MLB their arms are already shot do to overuse. This leads to them being more prone to injury and unable to perform at the same level they use to.
There so dumb about how they treat pitchers in Japan. They need laws over there to prevent this abuse.
Small schools in japan can’t do anything about using the same pitchers over and over since those small schools don’t have a lot of good baseball players wanting to join them and the schools go around the city and prefectures to find players to join them and offer scholarships so people who aren’t that good and still want to play will join small schools to try and win a championship for the school
