    The first ever US-born player for the team Japan, he became the American Samurai and won the hearts of Japanese people. As a Japanese-American, I'm so proud of what he's done for both the USA and Japan. Love the WBC. Can't wait for 2026!

      This dude is U.S. ; born and raised in El Segundo CA..George Brett territory and is of Dutch, German, and English ancestry on his Father's side(Patrilineal descent rules) Asian Mother not withstanding ..kind of silly having him playing on / pretending to represent the Japanese National Team. It would be a different story perhaps had he been not only born in 'the Land of the Rising Sun' but grown up there as well.

      Thank you for defending our Tetsuji.
      Lars Taylor-Tatsuji Nootbaar's Samurai spirit led Japan to the championship. I and all Japanese baseball fans love Tatsuji.

      @@tommyriam8320 it doesn't matter where you're born in international game play. just like the Olympics, a player can be descendant of a particular country to play for them.
      if you go by birthplace then there wouldn't be such a thing as naturalized citizens, which is needed for immigrants, war refugees and asylum seekers..

      It's not that easy to be bilingual in America. Your parents would have to speak exclusively the other language at home while you learn English at school. And that usually creates a communication gap.
