Although about 80 players from abroad are playing in Japan's two professional baseball leagues, far fewer Japanese are trying their hand (or bat) in the US Major League. What they lack in numbers, though, Japanese Major League players make up in quality, with 29-year-old Shohei Ohtani being at the very top. In the six years Ohtani has been active in the US, he has managed to become one of the greatest players of all times and the Shohei Ohtani 2023 Baseball Stats Fan Book is the best record of his career for 2023!
At a B5 (182 x 257 mm / 7.2 x 10.1"), the Shohei Ohtani 2023 Baseball Stats Fan Book's 136 pages contain everything you want to know about Ohtani's record-breaking season with the Los Angeles Angels: his 599 plate appearances, his 44 home runs, and his 95 RBIs that gave him a perfect 6 WAR in the year's 135 appearances. The book is in Japanese (yes, Ohtani is still very big in Japan too despite not playing there since 2017), so it's also a great way to work on your Japanese skills while learning more about a player who has been compared to Babe Ruth!
