Our good friend Jim Allen of JBallAllen.com returns from Japan for our annual look at NPB players who could head to Major League Baseball through posting or free agency.
Jim breaks down this year’s top pitchers and hitters, including Triple Crown winner Teruaki Sato. He also explains why American players often improve after playing in Japan and how potential MLB labor strife could affect Japanese players considering a move to the States.
