    I wasn't aware of his lack of power during his time with the Fighter. The Driveline juice is something else to unlock that section

      The only reason I know about his lack of power is due to jikkyou powerful pro yakyuu 2016. I thought, “no way that’s actually the same Kondoh! That’s got to be a relative!”

    I watch the highlights from Japan to see Kondoh, Maki, Itoh, and quite a few others because we’re watching them in their prime NOW! Telling you, we need a mid season All Star Games where MLB stars take on Nipon All stars. I think that would be a great All Star game!!!!

    Still heartbroken we lost him on the Fighters, but it's still so exciting to watch him play, and I'm glad he's continuing to do well!

    Also his lack of power and numerous injuries were due to playing in the huge Sapporo Dome and playing on basically concrete ground for 10 years, anyone would wanna get outa there lol

    Seems like he enjoys being a big fish in a small pond that he is familiar with making great money. Honestly can't blame him as we do see it in other sports every now n then.

      He's 30 years old already. Pretty late to go to MLB. He'll start declining soon.

      @@Ffollies That hasn’t stopped other guys from going. The bigger issue is that he signed a 7 year contract with a team that refuses to post players.

      @@zkiiffs9 Granted a lot of NPB players move to MLB during their late 20s or even early 30s but still, 30 is pretty old, especially for a hitter. But yeah, that 7 year contract would be the bigger issue.

    Curious as to what separates him from Masataka Yoshida. They seem quite similar to me on the surface, but with Yoshida displaying more power.
