Our new and fearsome slugger. He’s from Korea, and his ouenka is in Korean as well.

According to the Marines players’ page, “Nanryoboryo” is “Kattabase” in Japanese, and “Anta!” is “Anda!” in Japanese. You are probably saying “Ok, smart ass, what do those mean?” “Kattabase” means basically “smack one out!” and is a common cheer in Japan. “Anda” means safe hit, though as Deanna of the Marinerds blog points out, “Anta!” also means “Hey you!” in Japanese. Intended unintended consequences?
