Learn about Masanori Murakami, a pitcher who became the first player to successfully make the jump from Japan to MLB – decades before Hideo Nomo, Ichiro Suzuki, Shohei Ohtani, Roki Sasaki and other influential Japanese baseball stars did the same.

Are you a baseball fan looking for a quick, easy way to catch up on all the scores and stories from the night before? To hear the craziest stat from every team? To learn which player dominated the day? To find out who tied Boots Poffenberger’s 90-year-old hit-by-pitch record?

MLB.com’s Morning Lineup podcast will be coming to you five days a week – Monday through Friday – all in under 10 minutes. A rotating group of hosts will get you up to date on everything you need to know first thing in the A.M., so you can move on with your day, watch more baseball, and then (hopefully) listen to our podcast again the next morning. We can’t wait to meet you all there!
