なぜ大谷翔平はメジャーを沸かせるのか
Why Shohei Ohtani is Exciting the Major Leagues
What is the "soil" for talent to blossom? Shohei Ohtani, who won the Major League Rookie of the Year award with his two-way playing style, is undoubtedly a genius. But would Ohtani have achieved such success if he had been the "first Japanese player to try his hand at the Major Leagues"?
This book details Ohtani's extraordinary talent, while tracing the exploits of foreign players who came to Japan in the Showa era and the struggles of players like Hideo Nomo who came to the United States in the Heisei era, and unravels the background to the "Ohtani phenomenon" with a wealth of anecdotes.
A baseball theory written by a veteran author who has been watching baseball in both Japan and the United States for over 50 years that no one else has written before.
❶ Chapter 1: The genius's incredible ability to make adjustments ❷ Chapter 2: The extraordinary Rookie of the Year ❸ Chapter 3: How foreign players changed Japan ❹ Chapter 4: What did the two pioneers struggle against? ❺ Chapter 5: Who changed Americans' view of the Japanese? ❻ Final Chapter: From First High School to Ohtani

なぜ大谷翔平はメジャーを沸かせるのか
ホワイティング，ロバート【著】/ 阿部 耕三【訳】
才能が開花するための“土壌”とは何か二刀流でメジャー新人王となった大谷翔平は間違いなく天才だ。しかしもし大谷が「初めてメジャーに挑戦した日本人」だったらあれほどの成功を収めただろうか？
本書は大谷の異能を詳説しつつ、昭和に来日した助っ人“ガイジン選手”の活躍、平成に渡米した野茂英雄らの苦闘をたどって「大谷現象」の背景をエピソード豊かに解き明かす。
50年以上日米両国の野球を見てきたベテラン作家による、誰にも書けなかった野球論。
❶ 第1 章 天才の驚異的な修正能力 ❷第２章 規格外の新人王へ ❸ 第３章 助っ人ガイジンは日本をどう変えたか ❹ 第４章 2人のパイオニアは何と闘ったか ❺ 第５章 誰が米国人の日本人観を変えたか ❻ 終章一高からオータニまで
