American Expatriate Baseball Players In Japan
American expatriate baseball players in Japan have been a feature of the Japanese professional leagues since 1934. American expatriate players began to steadily find spots on Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) rosters in the 1960s. More than 600 Americans have played NPB, although very few last more than a single season in Japan. Many of the most celebrated American expatriate players came to Japan after not finding success in the Major Leagues. Major League Baseball (MLB) players, scouts, and sabermetricians describe play in the NPB as "AAAA"; less competitive than in MLB, but more competitive than in AAA minor league baseball, which may explain the American expatriate players' success overseas. (see: " Big in Japan") American players hold several NPB records, including highest career batting average ( Leron Lee, .334), highest single season batting average ( Randy Bass, .389), and the dubious record of most strikeouts in a season by a hitter ( Ralph Bryant, 204).
