As Korean and Japanese players are actively entering the Major League, it is possible to form an “MLB Korea-Japan Dream Team.”
There are a total of 15 Korean and Japanese players on the Major League’s roster. Korea has four and Japan 11.
South Koreans include Kim Ha-sung, Ko Woo-seok (San Diego), Lee Jung-hoo (San Francisco), and Bae Ji-hwan (Pittsburgh Pirates).
Among Japanese people are Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto (Dodgers), Yu Darvish, Yuki Matsui (San Diego), Kodai Senga (New York Mets), Kenta Maeda (Detroit Tigers), Yusei Kikuchi (Toronto Blue Jays), Shota Imanaga, Seiya Suzuki (Chicago Cubs), Shintaro Fujinami (New York Mets), and Masataka Yoshida (Boston Red Sox).
On top of that, Choi Ji-man (Mets), Park Hyo-joon (Oakland Athletics), Naoyuki Uwasawa (Tampa Bay Rays), and Yoshitomo Tsutsugo (San Francisco Giants) can only join as players who are currently in the minor leagues but can enter the major leagues.
The position they will play for the dream team will be as follows
First baseman: Choi Ji-man
Second baseman: Bae Ji-hwan, Park Hyo-jun
Third base: Yoshitomo Tsutsugo
Shortstop: Kim Ha-sung
Left fielder: Yoshida Masataka
Center fielder: Lee Jung-hoo
Right fielder: Seiya Suzuki
Designated hitter: Shohei Ohtani
Starting pitchers: Ohtani, Yamamoto, Maeda, Imanaga, Darvish, Senga, Kikuchi
Bulbas: Ko Woo-suk Matsui Yuki, Uwasa and Naoyuki
The starting pitcher resources are overflowing. Some of them can be used as long relief.
The problem is catchers. Currently, no Korean or Japanese players are exclusively for catchers in the Major League.
On the other hand, if Korean and Japanese people join, the size of the dream team between Korea and Japan will increase.
