This happens all the time. It’s like when the US recruited from African 15 year old for soccer.

I thought you had to be 18 to play?

Sounds like Korea is jealous.

Of course, Korea and Japan hate each other.

It’s too bad. I wish they were more supportive.

The younger generations don’t care.

That’s because a lot of the entertainment companies work with Japan.

This is sort of a milestone.. to be drafted to Japan for baseball instead of out.. to a US team. Thats pretty awesome.

I wouldn’t say it’s better. US Baseball > Japan.

Japan isn’t that bad either.
