Another historic week...but when is it not?!

We kick off with Kristen Kish's first pitch and injury updates, then onto the position players. Hyeseong Kim has risen from the dead once again, Kaz and Mune continue to rake, and Cleveland needs to start showing Steven Kwan some respect!

Over in pitching, Senga and Rocker get the Ohtani Angels treatment, Tommy Sugar is crisp at Coors, and the Dodgers start Japanese-born pitchers on three consecutive days for the first time in history.

And in Ohtani news, he's just like us (cleaning up spilled juice), finally gets his first homer of the year, and has an impressive season pitching debut in the rain.

The 2026 season is officially underway, and oh boy is there a lot to cover!

First, we get into which teams have the most Asians in Baseball, including how trades shook up the location of some of our favorite guys.

Then, in position player news, Kazuma Okamoto and Munetaka Murakami debut in The Show in a huge way, Bo Bichette has a rough welcome to Queens, and we try to find the logic in Hyeseong Kim's demotion to triple A.

And in pitching, Yoshinobu Yamamoto is a bona fide ace (no matter what uneducated nonsense a certain Athletic writer spits out), Tatsuya Imai has a hard day at the new office, and while the starters find their ground, the relief pitchers haven't missed a beat.

Naomi, Scott, and Kim are BACK for SEASON 5 of Asians in Baseball, delivering all things Asians in Baseball straight to your earholes! First things first...all things WBC.

We bestow our highly coveted and prestigious Asians in Baseball Awards on a new class of recipients

No agenda, just chaos. Much like Game 7.

The DS, the CS, new managers, new postings, heartbreak, history, and everything in between!

It's getting tense in the postseason with the road to the World Series being littered with fallen teams, hopes, dreams, fingernails, and sanity. The Yankees have blessedly joined the fallen today (Oct 8), but the Phillies, Dodgers, Cubs, Brewers, Mariners, Tigers, and Blue Jays remain, each with Asian and Asian American players to root for.

We recap the Wild Card Series and the Divisional Series so far, setting up next week's League Championship Series. Two teams in the NL and two in the AL to fight for their shot at baseball glory.

Yamamoto had been lights out, Suzuki rediscovered his power swing, Woo is out for the ALDS, Sasaki is crushing in relief, and Ohtani started hot, but has since looked lost at the plate.

Lots to still be determined. And it's going to be explosive, tense, and a hell of a lot of fun.

We wrap up the regular season and then talk postseason.

The Wildcard series is underway and the Division series is taking shape. We started with HS Kim, Volpe, Yoshida, Suzuki, Ohtani, Darvish, Wong, Imanaga, Yamamoto, Sasaki, Kwan, and Edman.

Lots of amazing feats of Asian baseball greatness is on display already, and there is more to come. Stay tuned!
