<p>Total Pro Sports &#8211; Throughout the past decade or so, MLB scouts have gone across the Pacific Ocean to find the next big Japanese baseball star.  We&#8217;ve seen them bring back some great talent like <strong>Ichiro Suzuki</strong> and <strong>Hideki Matsui</strong>, but they may want to begin looking off the field in the future.  May I suggest a Samurai dojo?</p>
<p>On a Japanese TV show, this samurai warrior was invited to showcase his talent with a sword.  As Baseballs were shot at him from a pitching machine, his challenge was to draw his sword and slice them in half.  He made contact on the first pitch, but the second he successfully chopped into pieces.</p>
<p><span id="more-12344"></span>Should a manager get any ideas form this, batting practice may get a whole lot more interesting.</p>
<p>We saw <a title="Josh Womack Has A Cool Bat Trick Up His Sleeve" href="http://www.totalprosports.com/blog/index.php/2009/06/josh-womack-has-a-cool-bat-trick-up-his-sleeve/" target="_self">Josh Womack pull off a batting trick of his own</a>, but this performance may actually translate into successful hitting.  Some MLB teams may want to consider signing the Samurai up.  Maybe they can get him in a package deal with<a title="Japanese Baseball Fan Catches Foul Ball With A Pizza Box" href="http://www.totalprosports.com/blog/index.php/2009/06/japanese-baseball-fan-catches-foul-ball-with-a-pizza-box/" target="_self"> the man who made the pizza box catch</a>.  Now there is something to build your franchise around.</p>
