Title: Posting system
Passage: The posting system (ポスティングシステム , posutingu shisutemu ) is a baseball player transfer system that operates between Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) and the United States' Major League Baseball (MLB), or between the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) and MLB.  Despite the drafting of the United States – Japanese Player Contract Agreement, unveiled in 1967 to regulate NPB players moving to MLB, problems began to arise in the late 1990s.  Some NPB teams lost star players without compensation, an issue highlighted when NPB stars Hideo Nomo and Alfonso Soriano left to play in MLB after using loopholes to void their existing contracts.  A further problem was that NPB players had very little negotiating power if their teams decided to deal them to MLB, as when pitcher Hideki Irabu was traded to an MLB team for which he had no desire to play.  In 1998, the Agreement was rewritten to address both problems; the result was dubbed the "posting system".
Title: Shep diagram
Passage: A Shep Diagram is a series of video or animated image clips of an athlete, layered into a single composite image for the purposes of contrasting the similarities of movements with the different outcomes.  It was originally created by Drew Sheppard to demonstrate the constant release point of Texas Rangers starting pitcher Yu Darvish despite the different speeds and locations of the pitches from that release point.  Soon after, MLB Network used a similar process to show the same for Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander.  On May 4th, Drew Sheppard announced the development of a partnership with FanGraphs.com to produce additional animations.

Passage: Yoshihisa Naruse (Japanese:成瀬 善久, born, October 13, 1985 in Tochigi, Japan) is a Japanese baseball player.  He is a pitcher for the Tokyo Yakult Swallows of Nippon Professional Baseball.  He made his debut in the 2006 season.  In 2007, Naruse had his best season as a professional in his short career.  All season long he was competing with Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters superstar Yu Darvish for the Eiji Sawamura Award, the award for best pitcher in all of Japan.  In 24 starts, Naruse was 16-1 with a 1.82 ERA, with 138 strikeouts and only 27 walks in 173 and 1/3 innings.  Darvish, by comparison, was 15-5 in 26 starts, also compiling a 1.82 ERA, but not only did he throw more complete games than Naruse (12 for Darvish, 6 for Naruse), but Darvish also threw more innings (207 and 2/3), but he struck out more batters, with 210 punch-outs.  The two ended up facing each other in the 2007 Pacific League Championship Series' deciding Game 5.  Darvish triumphed over Naruse at Sapporo Dome, and the Fighters won Game 5 and the series 3-2, setting up a rematch of the 2006 Japan Series with the Chunichi Dragons.  Naruse ultimately lost out to Darvish for the Sawamura Award in 2007.
Title: List of New York Mets no-hitters
Passage: The New York Mets are a Major League Baseball franchise based in the New York City borough of Queens.  Formed in 1962, they play in the National League East division.  The Mets had gone 8,019 games before their first no-hitter, which was the most by any MLB team, before Johan Santana threw one on June 1, 2012 against the St. Louis Cardinals at Citi Field.  Several notable Mets pitchers, including Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, Dwight Gooden and David Cone went on to hurl no-hitters after leaving the team.  A no-hitter is officially recognized by Major League Baseball only "when a pitcher (or pitchers) allows no hits during the entire course of a game, which consists of at least nine innings.  In a no-hit game, a batter may reach base via a walk, an error, a hit by pitch, a passed ball or wild pitch on strike three, or catcher's interference."  No-hitters of less than nine complete innings were previously recognized by the league as official; however, several rule alterations in 1991 changed the rule to its current form.  Only one team in Major League Baseball, the San Diego Padres, has never had a pitcher accomplish the feat.
