He's like a Shinjo or Turk for the luchador-mask-wearing young parent set. He speaks to me.

Look at baseball reference for this guy and they have him under "minors"

Maybe BB-Rf is starting to incorporate Japanese stats into their database (be cool if that's the case) - or at least the JPL stats of those guys who come over here. They just have one year for him at the moment but I bet that grows over time.
Filing that stuff under 'minor league' is probably just a way of keeping those numbers separate from the ML stats. 'Other' might be a more accurate designation but one step at a time.

Among other things I notice that BB-RF has added recently is the burial spot of deceased guys (or at least some of them) to go along with the date and place of death.
