No pitch count in Japan, i read somewhere Matsuzaka threw 200+ pitches in his last HS game. In the US that would probably get the manager fired.

I think this question can have million answers if you are looking for specific answers. Gernally, I think in Japan, they teach players more carefully and try to adjust players' mechanics and improve their fundamental knowledge on daily basis. In the US, it is all about talent. It is understandable, US players are just simply have better build than any Asian players. However, those big, stronger white people (or whatever colour they are) can still be beaten by their smaller opponents because fundamental baseball is important.
