There were no elite players like Shohei Otani or Yoshitomo Tsutsugo, but the Asia Professional Baseball Championship served as a good showcase for MLB scouts to try and identify some up-and-coming, and possibly future MLB, talent.
In fact, one anonymous major league scout said it wasn't just one or two players who caught his eye during the under-24 tournament.
The four-day event featured Japan, South Korea and Taiwan and ended with the Japanese beating the Koreans 7-0 in the final on Sunday.
