FYI - Japanese HS baseball is LEGIT. Akin to HS football in Texas or across the south. Fundamentally they are outstanding and very well- coached. ,

This kid pitched in the World Baseball Classic at 17 years old and threw 100, and has the Japanese HS HR record. He’s a future Superstar in the Big Leagues.

Gotta think Jay is just really hoping to get a chance to showcase how he can implement and help him in college.

Jay doing a PowerPoint pitch with a Japanese translator in the room would be fun to see.

They play on fast pitch softball field or is that on the celebrity all star softball field? Williamsport looks bigger than field.

Roki Sasaki pitched in the WBC. He’s a professional pitcher and has been for some time now.


This is a different person.

If this is true, get a coach or two from there on the LSU admin team or shadow staff. Stat.
