for thirty years murakami was the only japanese player to appear in an mlb game. pitcher hideo nomo, with the help of agent don nomura, became the second japanese player to play in mlb in 1995. nomo, who was not yet eligible for free agency in japan, was advised by nomura that a "voluntary retirement" clause in the working agreement did not specify that a player wishing to play again after retiring must return to npb. nomo utilized this loophole to void his npb contract with the kintetsu buffaloes and play in mlb. he announced his retirement from npb in late 1994 and signed with the los angeles dodgers in february 1995. nomo's maneuver and hideki irabu's later mlb contractual complications were contributing factors to a major revision of the working agreement in 1998 that created the current posting system. since its inception 16 japanese players have been signed through the system, however one of these players, shinji mori, did not play in a single mlb game due to an injury. npb players who have nine or more years of playing service with npb can become international free agents and do not need to enter mlb through the posting system. the remaining japanese players that have played in mlb have either signed as free agents or signed as amateur players. mac suzuki, kazuhito tadano, and junichi tazawa are the only japanese players to have debuted in mlb without previously playing in npb.
