Crank the air conditioning, because Asians in Baseball are STAYING HOT.
0:49 - All-Star Game voting is open, and there are so many Asians to vote for!
1:39 - Position players are ON FIRE. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is shining as a power hitter, guys all over the league were making leaping and diving plays, and NINE players are batting well over 300 in their last 7 games.
13:15 - Ohtani talk! He has his version of a down week...that still involves him smashing three homers.
22:48 - We’re only a month and change from the All-Star break, so of course we gotta get the Ohtani trade deadline rumor mill churning…
42:44 - Big week for Japanese-born pitchers: Yusei Kikuchi reaches not one but TWO milestones, Kodai Senga and the ghost fork continue to stump opponents, and Shintaro Fujinami gets his second win.
