Taiwanese pitcher Wei-Yin Chen announced his retirement a few weeks back (H/T NPB on reddit). You'd be forgiven for thinking he had already retired as it's been three years since his last appearance in NPB and five since his last one in MLB.
Chen had signed with the Chunichi Dragons as an 18 year old prior to the 2004 season. He had his first taste of ichi-gun in 2005, posting an ERA of 6.05 in ten games. He spent all of 2006 on the farm and had some elbow and ligament injuries that ultimately caused him to need Tommy John surgery. The Dragons demoted him to the ikusei roster for 2007 while he rehabbed but moved him back to the 70 man roster for 2008.
He started 2008 in the bullpen with the top team but by mid-season, he was in the starting rotation. He'd spend the next three seasons as a mainstay of the Dragons starting rotation, going 8-4 in 2009, 13-10 in 2010 and 8-10 in 2011. He led the Central League with an ERA of 1.54 in 2009. He pitched for the Dragons in losing efforts in both the 2010 and 2011 Nippon Series.
He left Chunichi and Japan after the 2011 season, heading to the US and the Baltimore Orioles. He spent four pretty good seasons in Charm City before moving on to the Marlins for 2016. He was somewhat less successful in Miami, missing some time due to some injuries. The Marlins released him with a year left on his contract after the 2019 season and he signed with the Mariners in early 2020. He pitched poorly in a couple exhibition games and, with the season in limbo due to COVID, ultimately got released in June, freeing him up to return to NPB.
He signed with the Chiba Lotte Marines and debuted with the team in mid-October. He made four starts and pitched pretty well, posting an ERA of 2.42 in 26 innings. The Marines, however, only scored a single run in his four starts, leaving him saddled with an 0-3 record. He started Game 2 of the Final (and only) Stage of the Climax Series against the Hawks and got lit up, giving up five runs on three home runs (two by Akira Nakamura and one by Nobuhiro Matsuda). He took the loss in the 6-4 defeat that put the Hawks into the Nippon Series for the fourth straight year.
Within a month of the Marines elimination, he left the team as a free agent and signed with the Hanshin Tigers. He struggled to stay healthy, making only two appearances with the top team in 2021 and a total of 13 appearances on the farm team in 2021 and 2022. He was released mid-way through the 2022 season and returned to Taiwan. He had surgery on his arm and spent 2023 rehabbing on his own. He returned to action last year with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League, going 5-5 with an ERA of 6.37 in 17 starts.
He pitched for the Taiwan Olympic team in both the 2004 Athens games and the 2008 Beijing games.
His first baseball card was in the 2004 BBM Dragons set (#D34). He appeared in the Dragons team sets in three of the next four years, missing only 2007 since he was a development player that season. He appeared in a couple of Konami's sets in 2008 and made his BBM and Calbee flagship debuts in 2009. Here's a handful of his cards:
 |
| 2005 BBM Dragons #D18 |
 |
| 2008 BBM Dragons #D11 |

| 2009 BBM 1st Version #295 |
 |
| 2010 BBM 1st Version #449 |

I've been involved in a discussion on Reddit over the past week or so regarding a 2021 Konami Baseball Collection "SR" (super rare) card of Roki Sasaki. I won't rehash the discussion here - you can read it for yourself if you want* - but a lot of the discussion hinges on trying to determine when, exactly, the card was published.
* I should mention that I've had some somewhat less heated discussions in DMs with the OP regarding an actual 1/1 card he pulled. I also have to always remind myself that arguing with strangers on the internet is rarely a good idea.
Let's start with a little background on the Baseball Collection cards. Konami produced these cards for five years from 2018 to 2022. The cards were used in an arcade game and you'd win more cards playing the game although I'm not sure if the cards were somehow available outside of the game as well. It's not entirely clear to me if the cards were printed by the game or just dispensed - my gut feeling is that they were dispensed but the Japanese Wikipedia page for the game implies they were printed by the game.
Based on some advertising images for the game linked to by the OP on Reddit, the 2021 Baseball Collection cards were released on March 29th of that year. But did that mean that ALL the cards were released then or just some of them? And if it was just some of them, was the OP's Sasaki card one of them?
There were a couple things on the back of the card that I felt were clues but I wasn't sure how to interpret them. The first was the card's number - "202117-SR-M017-00". What did this mean? There's a couple things that are obvious - the "2021" is obviously the year, the "SR" is obviously because it's an "SR" card and the "M017" is Marines uniform number 17. I knew that the "17" at the end of "202117" was not for Sasaki's uniform number because I have other Baseball Collection cards where this number is not the player's uniform number but I didn't know what it meant. The second and much more interesting thing was the copyright date for the card which was, surprisingly, 2022, not 2021. What did this mean?
My suspicion was that the "17" digraph somehow indicated a card series of some sort and that the 2022 copyright meant that the series that the card was in was not actually published until 2022 despite having a "cover date" of 2021. I based this on the handful of 2021 Baseball Collection cards that I own. I have seven in all and I took a look at the backs of them all. What I found was that I had four cards that had "00" after the year, one that had "15", one that had "16" and one that had "19". Here's the front and back of one of the "00" cards and the other three cards:
Here's something interesting - if you look at the lower right of the card backs, you can see the copyright date for the card. The first three (the "00", "15" and "16" cards) have a copyright date of 2021 but the last one (the "19" card) has a copyright date of 2022. If the digraph does actually denote some sort of card series, it would appear that the change in year happened between "16" and "17".
I looked to see if any of my other Baseball Collection cards had a copyright date that was later than the "cover date" and if its digraph was a "high" number (although "high" is kind of meaningless out of context). I found I only had one - this 2019 Premium card of Takeya Nakamura:
Unfortunately, the digraph for this card doesn't help as it's "C9". It looks like Konami had issued some special cards that used different digraphs than two digit numbers, The one thing that indicates that this card was issued after the season ended is that it commemorates Nakamura winning a Best 9 award. It has to be for 2019 because Nakamura won the award that year but didn't in 2018.
So I had a theory that fit the evidence I had but I didn't really have any facts. It'd be great to be able to look at Konami's checklists but they basically purged everything each year from their websites and almost none of it appears to be available in the Wayback Machine. I decided to just Google "ベースボールコレクション" and see if anything useful came up. I was a little surprised this led me to Suruga-ya's website. More specifically, it led me to a page listing all of their Baseball Collection cards in their inventory (or may have once had in their inventory - it's not really clear to me how many of these cards are actually available for sale).
One of the interesting things in this listing is a column that includes "発売日" which appears to translate to "release date". Does this really mean the date the card was released or does it mean the date it entered inventory at the store? I looked at their listings for both BBM and Epoch and their listed release dates appear to match when the sets were released. It may be a kind of moot point - if Suruga-ya got the item in on the day it was released, the date will be the same regardless of what it actually means.
So the nice thing about the page listing all the Baseball Collection cards is that I can search by card number or, more usefully, PART of a card number. So I can search for all the 2021 cards simply by putting "2021" in the search field. Or, even better, I can search for all the cards that start with "202100" by entering "202100" in it.
What I get with the last search is a list of 285 cards that all have a release date of 3/29/21 which, as the OP of the Reddit post had pointed out, was the date the 2021 Baseball Collection cards were initially released so that checks out.
What happens if we do the search for the "202101" cards? We get a list of 39 cards that all have release date of 4/8/21. What's interesting is that the cards all carry the label "SEASON 2021アペンドパック第1弾" which translates to "SEASON 2021 Append Pack 1st Edition". So it does look like that digraph indicates the series number or the "append pack edition".
I should mention that I didn't confirm if all 285 "00" cards listed or all 39 "01" cards are unique with no card being listed more than once. Since most NPB card issues have sizes that are multiples of 12 (because there's the same number of cards for each team), my bet is that there are cards listed more than once. The other possibility is that not every card that was issued is listed. To be honest, this process was tedious enough without trying to determine if there were duplicate cards in the listings.
I repeated this process for "02", "03", "04", etc up to "19". Actually to be honest, I tried a search for "20" but got a "0 results for search" message. What I found is what I kind of expected. Each new "Append Pack" edition has a release date later than the one before it. And, as my handful of cards predicted, the 16th Edition was the last one published in the calendar year of 2021 (December 9th) with the 17th Edition being the first published in 2022 (January 6th).
I searched some of the digraphs that contained letters as well. I ultimately did searches on something like 39(!) separate digraphs. All the cards for a particular digraph had the same release date with two exceptions. Again, this may be the day the cards entered into Suruga-ya's inventory but why would all the cards for a given digraph have entered the store's inventory on the same day unless that was the day they were released?
The exceptions were the "R1" and "R2" cards. There were eight R1 cards - four of which were released on August 26th with two each being released on October 14th and November 11th. There were only three R2 cards with two of them being released on December 2nd and the other on December 23rd. I have no idea why these and only these have different release dates. All the "R3" and "R4" cards have the same release dates.
Here's a breakdown of all the digraphs I found along with their release dates. I've listed the R1 and R2 cards multiple times based on their different release dates.

The Dodgers and Cubs are in Tokyo right now, preparing for their regular season games on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. They spent this weekend playing exhibition games against the Hanshin Tigers and the Yomiuri Giants. Neither MLB team had too much difficulty with the Giants - the Dodgers beat them 5-1 on Saturday and the Cubs beat them 4-2 today. But Hanshin was a different story. The Tigers beat the Cubs 3-0 on Saturday and repeated that score against the Dodgers today. All the runs today came on one swing of the bat by Teruaki Sato against Blake Snell:
I had mentioned a few months back that, thanks to Scott Kaneko, I had completed the "Rising Stars" subset from the 2000 Upper Deck Ovation set. Now that I have the full subset, I decided to take a deeper look at who was in the set and decided to make a post out of the research.
The 2000 Ovation set was the one of the four NPB sets that Upper Deck did in 2000 and 2001. It had a 60 card base set that was numbered from 31 to 90. Why such an odd numbering? Because cards 1 through 30 were the "Rising Stars" subset. Each of these card was serially numbered to 2000 which seemed like a small number at the time (it was certainly less than the /150,000 for the 1990 Classic Draft Picks set).
I'm not going to lie - I'm not a big fan of this set. It made my list of my least favorite sets a few years back. I find it kind of ugly and, to be completely honest, I think the "Rising Stars" cards are kind of ugly as well. I don't much like cards that have the player's photo superimposed over a background (as opposed to the original photo's background) and the player's name is difficult to read on the front of the card. (I know I'm really selling you all on continuing to read this post, aren't I?) But I think my OCD was bothered by the fact that my "complete" Ovation set was missing cards 1 to 30 so I decided to get all the cards. (Which suggests that if Upper Deck had simply made this a separate insert set, I wouldn't have wanted them.) I had considered not collecting them all a couple of times over the past few years but I kept at it until I was down to just the one that Scott sent me.
With all that said, let's take a look at who all is in this set. Here's the list of included players with their team, draft position and career summary - at least all the NPB and MLB organizations they played in.

30's kind of a weird number for an NPB set (or subset or insert set) since it's not a multiple of 12 and usually an NPB set has the same number of cards per team. For this set, though, half of the teams (Dragons, Carp, Fighters, Buffaloes, Lions and Giants) have three cards while the other half (Marines, Hawks, Tigers, BlueWave, Swallows and Baystars) only have two cards.
It's a kind of interesting collection of players. The first three cards were probably the biggest "prospects" in NPB in 2000 - Daisuke Matsuzaka, Koji Uehara and Kosuke Fukudome. Matsuzaka and Uehara had been the 1999 Rookies of the Year for the Pacific League and Central League respectively. Those three were the only players in the subset to also have "regular" cards in base set. Kenshin Kawakami was the 1998 Central League Rookie Of The Year. Oddly enough though, the 1998 PL Rookie Of The Year - Tatsuya Ozeki - is not in the subset. Like any other old set of "prospects", it has guys who had really stellar careers, guys who were average players and guys whose careers were pretty short.
Eight of the players spent some time in MLB organizations - Fukudome, Matsuzaka, Uehara, Kawakami, Kosuke Tanaka, Hisanori Takahashi, Yoshihiro Tateyama and Ryota Igarashi. That's not including Itsuki Shoda who went to spring training with the Red Sox in 2011 (and pitched in the Can-Am League for the Shikoku Island All Stars in 2015, 2016 and 2019) or Kazunori Tanaka who spent 2007-08 with the York Revolution of the Atlantic League.
The oldest player in the set was Hidetaka Kawagoe who was 26 when the 2000 season opened (and would turn 27 on June 8th). The youngest player was Takaya Kawauchi who was about 18 and three months on Opening Day that year. Fukudome was the last player in the set to be active in NPB - he retired after the 2022 season (although Shoda was active with the Ehime Mandarin Pirates of the Shikoku Island League the following season). On the other end of the career length spectrum, arm injuries ended Kaoru Takahashi's career after just four years with him never making any appearances with the top team.
Eighteen of the players were "rookies" in the NPB card sense that year (as opposed to the "NPB rookie eligibility" sense), meaning that they had been drafted in the 1999 draft. This includes all twelve of the first round picks that year. Nine of the players had been taken in the 1998 draft, including four first round picks - Matsuzaka, Fukudome, Uehara and Akihiro Higashide. The remaining three players were 1997 draftees although only one of them - Kawakami - was a first round pick.
Here's each "Rising Stars" card along with a card of the player from later in his career. I tried to pick cards from the player's final season but it proved difficult in a couple cases since I didn't start getting the complete BBM team sets for all 12 teams until 2015. And Kaoru Takahashi's final year corresponds to the first year that BBM did a comprehensive team set for the Marines so with the exception of his 2003 BBM Marines card (which I don't have), all his cards are from 2000. So I picked cards from their last season when I could (or from the following year's BBM Retirement sets) and the latest cards I had for them otherwise:
