All from the box scores. The US collegiate national team played five games in Japan in July 2025 and lost all five. In September Japan's U-18 team played the US twice at the U-18 World Cup in Okinawa, seven-inning games, and won one of them.

Tiny samples, all of it, and Cholowsky hit .320 with 21 homers at UCLA this spring. His one hit in Japan was a homer to center at Jingu in the last game, an inning after Lackey's inside-the-parker in the same game.

The US won the U-18 final 2-0. In the other game Bolemon threw six scoreless and Japan still won 6-2 in eight, after a 16-year-old lefty, Ryosuke Sueyoshi, held the US hitless for 4⅓ innings. Sueyoshi is a first-round candidate in Thursday's NPB draft, and so is the catcher who drove in three in that Jingu game, Kai Watabe.

Japan's college team beat the US again this July, 6-3 in 11 innings, in the final of the first World Collegiate Baseball Championship in Taiwan.
