More differences between American and Japanese Baseball:

In Japanese Baseball, hitters commonly touch or brush home plate after a home run to show respect for next batter. In the United States this would be interpreted as an insult to the pitcher.

The balls, bat and gloves used by Japanese players are pretty much the same as those used by American players. The Japanese Baseball is smaller, more tightly wound and harder with bigger seams and it is said to be faster than in American Baseball.

The Japanese used a 2 and 3 count with 2 strikes and 3 ballls as opposed to a 3 and 2 count. In January 2010, it was announced that Japan would start calling balls and strikes
as the rest of the baseball-playing would does with a 3-2 full count.
