Episode 418: A Historic Week

Just another week over here at Asians in Baseball with legends making history! First, Ichiro's number is retired by the Mariners and Jen Pawol becomes the first female umpire of an MLB game (not Asians in Baseball, but we of course have to shout her out!)Then, our position players stay hot! The battle of Kim Ha Seong vs Bryan Woo goes to the Ray (though Woo gets the W in the game), multiple guys are smashing pitches, Lars Nootbaar robs the Dodgers of a crucial hit that ends with Riley O'Brien's first win of the season, and Steven Kwan leads in a very specific stat. In pitching, Kai-Wei Teng dedicates his first MLB win on Taiwanese Father's Day to his dad, Bryan Woo ties two records of legendary pitchers, and Tommy Sugar and Joey Cantillo are on the rise. Lastly, Shohei isn't the only Ohtani in town! His dad's middle school baseball team plays Torrance and visits Dodger Stadium, at which game the better known Ohtani gets his 1000th career hit - a home run, of course.
