Oregon already has a Japanese high school player on its team and he uses a wood bat because it’s what he was used to using growing up in Japan.
That was Rikuu Nishida, he played at Mt Hood in the NWAC before getting to Oregon. He's now in the White Sox org and has started an organization designed to help bring more Japanese players to the US for college baseball.
ETA: Jo Oyama from Irvine was one of the top players in the Cape Cod league this year. He played JUCO ball in California.

Whats to stop a team from giving a NIL deal to another member of the team who has one currently and drip the money in?
That person could essentially be ole baws wallet
Thats if you consider the non ethical portion of that

Do you think this is a new rule written specifically to hamper international students or is it perhaps the application of a long standing rule regarding visas that now applies to the brand new NIL world?
This is not an NCAA rule. This is immigration law. As he'll be a college student, he'll likely be on an F-1 (95% chance) or J-1 visa. Under that visa, you are not allowed to work off-campus for the first academic year. You are allowed a maximum of 20 hours of on-campus employment. After the first year, you're able to get off-campus employment but they are narrowly limited to your field of study.

Source: personal experience and USCIS page. Legally, he couldn't even drive an Uber if he wanted to.
Edit: I think the workaround here is to get a NIL deal in Japan. He won't legally be able to get paid for doing NIL activities in the US.

Any relation to Roki Sasaki?

Played by a Jap-Am actor from Utah using a Korean accent. Iconic character from the 80s. About time for a rewatch.

Could he marry a U.S girl and get his green card. Then enter the draft?
