Asians in Baseball is a podcast about…Asians in baseball. Each week, Naomi, Scott, and Kim break down what’s notable with the Asian players in MLB and take a deeper dive into the Asians and Asian Americans who have shaped baseball as it is today.
Episode 525: And Then There Was One- LCS to WS Woes
One by one, the Asians in Baseball have been eliminated from the postseason, leaving Christian Yelich's grandfather's DNA as the only Asian representation in the World Series. We shout out the heroics of Kwan, Matsui, Sasaki, and Mune, and we lament the fall of the mighty Dodgers. One happy moment from Ohtani was all we had in the NLCS, and then...poof.
Congrats to the Brewers and Rays. Whoever wins will bring a World Series home to their respective city for the first time ever. Enjoy the series, y'all. We may not have baseball for a while with the looming lockout.
But we'll keep the conversation going this offseason. Stay tuned.

Episode 524: Division Series Madness and Stop the Chop
This week we recap the Wild Card matchups and get into the Division Series matchups. There are still plenty of Asians in baseball to root for. Will Ohtani break out? Yamamoto continues to add to his legendary postseason greatness, Yellich is...stealing bases? Ha Seong Kim is solid defensively. Who will make it to the League Championship Series?
And of course we talk about handbags, fashion, and the racist Chop in Atlanta. There's something for everyone.

Episode 523: The Postseason Begins!
Announcement! We recorded this episode here for you earholes AND on video for you eyeholes! That's right. You can watch Kim, Naomi, and Scott make faces, roll eyes, and scowl at the IL list.
So the 2026 season is in the bag, but we still have a lot of Asians in baseball to follow.
We give our last thoughts on surprises and disappointments of the season before jumping into prognostications for the postseason.
This week in the Wild Card series we have the Braves v Phillies, Cubs v Padres, the Yankees v Red Sox, and White Sox v Astros. The Dodgers, Brewers, Rays, and Guardians are waiting for the winners of these series for the Division series this coming weekend.
