Episode 17: Flashback to May with Daren Mooko

Asians In Baseball ·

2022/09/28

While we're on a little break in preparation for all the October madness, we are airing this conversation from Scott's kitchen that took place back in May. The Angels were hot (haha!), and we were reflecting on some of the pioneers of Asians in Baseball, Mike Lum and Len Sakata. A lot of this conversation holds up today, but our hopes for any success with the Angels...let's just say oops. We'll be back next week with Kim and Scott rounding out the season. Naomi is in the motherland for the month, so

Episode 16: How The (NL) West Was Won

Asians In Baseball ·

2022/09/14

Congratulations are in order this week! Dave Roberts’ Dodgers become the first MLB team to clinch 2022 playoff berth AND their division (not to mention, they are the winningest team in baseball). The Dodgers have made it to the postseason every season Dave has managed - no small feat, and on top of that, he’s the first Asian and second Black manager to ever win a World Series title. Speaking of great managers, Naomi sacrifices her beloved Twins for the culture as Steven Kwan and Isiah Kiner-Falefa

Episode 15: The Good, The Bad, and The Obvious

Asians In Baseball ·

2022/09/07

You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both, and then you have…this week in Asians in Baseball! The good: Yu Darvish hits a massive milestone of 3000 career strikeouts across NPB and MLB, being only the second player !EVER! to do so. How iconic is this feat? The other pitcher that holds this distinction is…Hideo Nomo. The bad: A few of our guys are struggling on the mound, so we attempt to give them the World Famous Asians in Baseball Bump (tm) (jk it’s not tm). And we have a bone to

Episode 14: Double Header

Asians In Baseball ·

2022/08/31

We've got a double header episode! (We skipped last week, so this week is like two episodes in one...that's not what a double header is, but you get it.) In the week(s) in review, Asians in Baseball are absolutely crushing it. Kim Ha Seong and Steven Kwan make Gold Glove-level catches in left field foul territory, Lars Nootbaar leads *ALL* MLB in OPS, and Ohtani bests fellow AL MVP candidate Aaron Judge on the night of his 50th homer by giving the Angels the go-ahead 2-run home run to beat the

Episode 13: Is this heaven? No, it's Asians in Baseball

Asians In Baseball ·

2022/08/15

Not as much going on this week with Asians in Baseball, but the stuff we do have to talk about is BIG. It looks like our guy Kim Ha-seong will continue to be the everyday shortstop for the Padres through the rest of the season, Ohtani makes history yet again with his 10th win of the year, and we get into how we think the AL MVP race will shake out. What makes a Most Valuable Player anyway?? In the rest of the league, Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Tommy Pham come up huge for their respective ball clubs in

Episode 11: Our First Guest, Daren Mooko

Asians In Baseball ·

2022/07/27

With Kim taking the week off, this week we recap the All-Star game where Ohtani took it easy and still dazzled Major League Baseball. And then Scott talks to longtime friend, Daren Mooko about the podcast and all things Asians in Baseball and the Dodger/Giant rivalry. It's a Gen X old guy segment that, really, has been a long time coming. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/asiansinbaseball/message

Episode 10: Heading into the All-Star Break

Asians In Baseball ·

2022/07/19

Would you believe we have a lot to say about Shohei Ohtani going into the All-Star Break?? But first: Yu Chang (who loves Soulja Boy) and Choi Ji Man hold it down for the Rays, Yu Darvish has his 180th career win, and an Asian in Softball has entered the chat for...Taco Bell? Then we get into this week’s events: Chloe Kim and Simu Liu represent in the Celebrity Softball Game, Ohtani leads off for the AL in the ASG but opts out of pitching, and Kumar Rocker makes a huge splash in the MLB Draft.

Episode 9: Kolten Wong

Asians In Baseball ·

2022/07/12

We’ve got a BEEFY episode of Asians in Baseball this week. First off, we've gotta shout out the Asians in Basketball, Jaylin Williams and Kianna Smith. Then in our weekly recap, Ohtani is yet again the entire Angels organization, Keston Hiura has himself a week, and Rob Refsnyder goes yard...into a car windshield. And Naomi and Scott got to see two icons IRL: Kim Ha Seong and the Padres’ super fresh City Connect unis. This week we’re spotlighting Kolten Wong, a 2x Gold Glove second baseman and proud

Episode 8: Ichiro Suzuki

Asians In Baseball ·

2022/07/07

Is it possible that every single week is a big week for Asians in baseball? It sure seems like it. Shohei Ohtani has another fantastic pitching start, Choi Ji Man and Kim Ha Seong both homer on the same day, and Seiya Suzuki shows off his sprinting power after hitting an inside the park home run. We’re back with the spotlight this week with an intro to Ichiro Suzuki’s magnificent career. The 10x Gold Glove outfielder and 10x All Star will likely be the first Asian player in the Hall of Fame, and he

Episode 7: Shohei Ohtani's Week of Wonders

Asians In Baseball ·

2022/06/29

BUCKLE YOUR SEATBELTS BECAUSE WE’RE ALL IN ON SHOHEI THIS WEEK. We gotta give him his due for the absolute tear he’s been on - an iconic 8RBI game followed by an unbelievable career high 13ks the next night…and after a couple days of rest, a little 462ft homer as the icing on the cake. We get into whether or not he’s getting the appreciation he deserves and what a nice boy does during a baseball brawl. (Spoiler alert: he’s a hugger, not a fighter.) In the rest of the league, our boy Mitch White is

Episode 5: Kurt Suzuki

Asians In Baseball ·

2022/06/15

It was a HOT week for Asians in baseball! Shohei single-handedly revives the slumping Angels, Yu Darvish and Sean Manaea both finally get Ws, and Rob Refsnyder gets called back up just in time to assist the Red Sox offense AND make what just may be the catch of the year. This week we’re talking about the complexity of Kurt Suzuki. Kurt has been a consistent player for 15+ years in the MLB, though he received the widest attention for his choices following the Nationals' 2019 World Series win. Rob

2022/06/08

Rough week for Asians in baseball. Shohei AND Ji Man get robbed of homers halfway up the wall, Mitch White finds his groove but doesn’t get the run support he needs, and the fantasy football MLB crossover nightmare will not end! But Lars Nootbaar and Yu Chang are in the lineups this week, and Kolten Wong breaks up Joe Musgrove’s no hitter while keeping it classy. This week we are highlighting the first Korean-born player in the MLB, Park Chan Ho, former power pitcher for the Dodgers and current

Episode 3: Steven Kwan

Asians In Baseball ·

2022/06/01

Ohtani falls to Ryu in the Japan-Korea match up but springs back later in the series with a 2 HR game. Kolten Wong makes an incredible catch-and-flip against the Padres, who win against the Brewers despite 6 scoreless innings from Darvish who takes the L. Mitch White stays in the show, and Ji Man owns Gerrit Cole once again. Our spotlight this week is on bona fide baseball star Steven Kwan, who has been absolutely crushing it in his rookie season, both at the plate for the Guardians and on the mic

Mitch White gets the win, Keston Hiura walks it off, and Yu Darvish tosses 7 scoreless innings, among other MLB highlights from last week. Kim, Naomi, and Scott get into the legacy of Hideo Nomo.
