Saito leads Waseda to national title

Discussion in the Pro Yakyu News forum

Saito struck out six and allowed seven hits in his second start in as many days following Saturday's semifinal game against Soka University and was later named the MVP of the tournament, making him the first freshman to win the award.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
