Japan's WiffleBoy?

Recently I've noticed that there's a Japanese dude that's been throwing the 8-holed ball around and while some aren't impressed, there is obvious potential in this pitcher from the far east. It absolutely blows me away that there are guys like this on the other side of the Earth doing the same thing I'm doing...playing wiffleball. It's a humbling realization. This guy is throwing some pretty good junk. I'm not sure how long he's been pitching but in the couple of videos he's done he's shown progress. He's already picking up on scuffing techniques. Depending on just how widespread wiffleball is in Japan, this guy might be one of the best wiffleball pitchers in his country. Who knows maybe we'll see some videos from China, Russia, or maybe some Western Europe countries someday...

  1. A search of "Taiwan wiffle" on youtube yields some very interesting videos, dated back to '07
