I do think the Japanese hitters seem to have a better two strike approach. Then again there are many USA hitters who are tough to strike out.

Anyway, I did check the stats for the championship teams from both leagues.

Japan
Yomiuri Giants hitters struck out 996 times in 4850 Abs in 2008
20.5% of their Abs resulted in Ks.
144 games - 6.92 Ks per game

Major Leagues
Philadelphia Phillies hitters struck out 1117 times in 5509 Abs in 2008
20.2% of their Abs resulted in Ks.
162 games – 6.90 Ks per game

Thanks PG,I guess what we see in world comp is a bit misleading but I am with you,their 2 strike approach seems to be better.
