The Phillies do not have a Japanese player currently on their roster, but don’t tell that to Reddit user “UnderscoresSuck,” who submitted an inquiry to the subreddit “r/phillies” titled,”Who is “Kodeyashi?”
UnderscoresSuck elaborated on his question by saying the following:
“I recently started listening to Phillies radio broadcasts when I’m in my car. I haven’t followed baseball in years but I’m trying to learn the players on the team, but I keep hearing commentators talking about a fielder named “Kodeyashi”. I don’t know if that’s how it’s spelled, but that’s what it sounds like. They never use his first name.
