Emoyan no 10-bai Pro Yakyuu (エモやんの10倍プロ野球 セリーグ編? lit. Emoyan's Tenfold Pro Baseball) is a baseball sim for the Famicom published by Hect in 1989. It features the name and likeness of former pitcher Takenori "Emoyan" Emoto, who by 1989 had already retired from baseball but continued to work as a commentator and author of books on the sport, before eventually going into politics in the '90s. One such book, titled "How To Make Watching Pro Baseball Ten Times More Fun," is where this game derives its name. Besides Emoyan, the game uses fictional players and team names.
The game has a heavier sim aspect than most baseball sims for the Famicom, with players choosing a spot on a grid to both bat and pitch towards, the idea being to predict the ball's movement or the batter's likelihood of reaching it. Fielding is performed automatically.

Featured team[edit]
- Daikons
- Nagoya team. Young players flourished under the supervision of Hoshisen , who is known for coaching Sparta , and won the 1988 season. The lineup of pitchers, both starting and holding, and the batting staff with both big and small moves are top class in the league, but there are some concerns about defense. The model is the Chunichi Dragons.
- Cappores
- Kitabepo , Ono , Kawauchi , and Chitto, a team in the Chugoku region that has a pitching staff worthy of being called a pitcher's kingdom . On the other hand, the batting line lacks destructive power, and the instruction manual says, "We will develop a game like soccer , such as 2 to 1." The manager was Koji, who was the 4th batter for the team . The model is Hiroshima Toyo Carp.
- G-Jans
- The oldest team in the world of baseball. The main gun Haratatsu , the fielders centered on the gaijin Kuromachi , and the pitchers centered on the ace Kuata both boast the greatest depth of layers in the league. In the manual, the lack of left-handed pitchers and the unknown amount of Haratatsu's outfield defense, which was converted from this year, are concerns, but the team's strength is, "If it's not mentally fragile, it's the winning team." Highly rated. The director is Dandy . The model is the Yomiuri Giants.
- Smiles
- Under the supervision of Grandpa , who has a reputation for nurturing young players, the team has grown rapidly in the last two to three years. Home run hitters such as Yukeyamaya, who is nicknamed "Punpun Maru," Hirosao, and Parish are all available . However, the pitching staff is not very good, and there are many cases where the lead is easily overturned at the end of the game, or it becomes a random battle from the beginning. The model is the Yakult Swallows (now the Tokyo Yakult Swallows ).
- Tires
- It is a popular Kansai team that is described in the manual as "even crying children are happy", but both the pitchers and fielders are small, and it is undeniable that they lack strength . In terms of batting, the loss of the 4th batter and a strong foreign helper last season has accelerated the weight reduction of the batting lineup. As seen in the departure of these two players, the family turmoil is the worst , and it is pointed out in the manual that "nearly none of the successive star players have left amicably." The director was the ace of the team . His model is the Hanshin Tigers.
- Waves
- A weak team in a port town that has been away from winning for the last 20 years. The pitching staff boasts a number of players, such as Ninoura , Nakiyama , and Endorura . In terms of hitting , he creates opportunities by making use of the mobility of Takigi and Yasuki , but the poor batting lineup that can not be expected to hit a single shot other than Ponta and Pacho makes it difficult to take advantage of that opportunity, and Caporez once built a golden era. Even with the famous general Kobaa , the battle continues to be tough. The model is Yokohama Taiyo Whales (now Yokohama DeNA Baystars ).
