There’s a good chance you didn’t know that the MLB has sent a contingent of stars to play against the Japanese National Baseball team. The MLB has done a really bad job advertising this outside of a handful of gifs on twitter and playing the games on MLB Network. Alas, baseball, from some of the more exciting players in the game, is happening overseas. Four games have been played so far (3 against the National team and a warm-up against an NPB team) and Rosario has played in the first three games:
- 11/8: 1-4, 2 RBI
- 11/9: 3-4, 2 R, K, 2B, HR
- 11/10: 1-5, K, SB
Overall, Rosario has a 1.333 OPS in three games and announcers are talking about his rising stock in value. From August 10th on last year Rosario hit .303/.335/.444 (he was hitting .230/.274/.346 heading into the 1oth).
There’s a few games left, let’s see what Rosario does on the world stage.
