I'm an American, but I'm a big fan of the NPB and watch more Japanese baseball than MLB these days. I've noticed a lot more English speaking viewers starting to tune in after the WBC. It's really nice to see. There are so many talented players that will make waves in the MLB. 😊

@Dodgers-sw2uk 5 месяцев назад

@@glswenson that has a lot more to do with the waive of talent being created there than the WBC. They are basically scouting players for their team lol

@jasoncarver3614 4 месяца назад

agreed to a certain extent, as an American I too watched more Japanese & Korean content then I used too but more because I didn't have much of a choice due to COVID. But I get it. The WBC was pretty awesome and was my first experience with it. So much talent in the baseball world than simply MLB talent.

Jung-hoo Lee is definitely a great defender, but he’s golden glove award is not telling anything about his (or any player in KBO’s) defensive skills.
