- Single Season Home Run Records.
Arguably the most cherished record in all of sports. While the act of hitting that ball over that there fence seems simple enough in concept, it is arguably the hardest thing to do in sports. While goals in hockey and soccer and touchdowns in football, buckets in basketball and wins in auto racing can happen by sheer god damned accident, every home run is earned, even if the guy is not known for hitting them.
There’s also nothing that gets a crowd going quite like a home run, and it can change the whole momentum of the game.
While a good amount of MLB fans can name the single-season home run leaders for their MLB teams, the same is not true for the other baseball leagues in the world. So, I’ve decided to help change that. Here are the sluggers of the East, the single season home run records for all 28 teams in Asia’s top 3 leagues. Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball, Korea’s Korean Baseball Organization, and Taiwan’s Chinese Professional Baseball League.

I appreciate you showing love to my pops Tuffy Rhodes. Growing up seeing him play was an experience like no other.
Your dad was a great player!
Gaijin Baseball is an underrated gem of a channel.
Big ups from NYC - these videos are great for helping me learn about international baseball!
KBO and CPBL finally get their time to shine! Hooray! What an excellent video to come back on, Gaijin Baseball. Was cool to see the other two East Asian baseball leagues get some love alongside NPB. As someone who tries to catch all three plus MLB, it is great to finally see you get to cover the other two. Keep up the awesome vids, GB.
I have enjoyed watching your videos. Thank you. It's nice to see others like learning about baseball from around the world also.
I'm glad I watched till the end. I thought Tuffy's 55 might have gotten left out...
I agree, Tuffy is probably the best foreign player ever in Japan. He would have my vote, anyway.
I like the new layout and editing style you're trying out. It makes your videos more crisp. Also, welcome back. I hope your mental is right and everything.
Welcome back my boy, awesome video
Awesome to have you back! Love learning about NPB history through your videos
I've never watched, and never plan to watch NPB, but I really love watching NPB videos lol
Glad to have you back, boss
Welcome Back!
Great video, thanks for posting.
I could be wrong, but I believe the player you identified as Shingo Kuramoto in the part about Nagoya/Chuinichi is actually a photo of Japanese HOFer Michinori Tsubochi.
Looking at it again, you're right, but a seach for Tsubochi did not turn up that photograph, wheras a search for Kuramoto did.
My fault for not double-checking
LETS GOOOOO!!! Welcome back!!
Welcome Back🎉
Hell yes Jabari Blash batting stance
"Wake up babe...new Gaijin Baseball vid dropped"
DON NEWCOMBE?!?!?! THAT WAS UNEXPECTED
He and Larry Doby went to the Dragons as a pair...both did okay but not great.
The grand return!
BTW, skip to 45:21 for the Wei Chuan Dragons.
Karim Garcia reminds me of Jaun Primo of the Fan'. As a Tigers' fan, the mannerisms, home runs, chains and overall machismo
This is really just trivial, while probably everyone thinks Sadaharu Oh was Japanese, he technically was Taiwanese. While he is as Japanese as anyone can be being born in and raised in Japan, but for the patriotism of his father he never changed his nationality despite the ease of which it would be for him to do so.
My reason is down to how foreign player designations work.
Because Oh was born in Japan and went to a Japanese high school, he counts as Japanese under the current foreign player rules.
Had Isao Harimoto or Tomoaki Kanemoto held the home runs records for their teams at any point, they would also be looped in to the Japanese section for the same reason, despite being ethnic Koreans.
When it came to Japanese-Korean Jae-bak Song (Hiroshi Yoshimoto), who briefly tied the OB Bears' home run record, he wasn't considered a foreign player by the rules of the KBO, who officially didn't allow them at the time.
You cannot drop that bomb at the end and NOT make it a video! What evils now I go look.
Also I need to find a hat with that T-Rex logo lmao.
Welcome Back!
