The Czech Republic and Japan share an unexpected international friendship, and it's thanks to the profound, unifying magic of baseball. Japanese baseball fans adopted the Czech national baseball team as their foster favorite after the two countries faced off in the 2023 World Baseball Cup. The mostly amateur Czech team lost 2-10, but not before charming both Japanese fans and players with an early lead—and not before Czech pitcher Ondrej Satoria, an electrician by day, struck out the legendary Shohei Ohtani.
This week, Japanese solo developer Eba Game is channeling that international spirit of baseball and friendship. His game Ball Boy Simulator is due to launch on Steam later this month, but he's adding last-minute Czech language support (via Kotaku)—all for the sake of the one user he noticed had wishlisted his game from the Czech Republic.
