Taiwanese have touched, known and developed the sport of baseball through the help of Japanese; therefore, some baseball terms like “Pitcher”, “batter” in Taiwan were rooted in Japanese. Although Japan retreated and left Taiwan in 1945, but the sport of baseball continues developing and upgrading instead of withered, and it has been a national sport in Taiwan now. Besides, the baseball terms from Japanese were being widely applied rather than vanished in Taiwan, because of the fact that Japan was a media of baseball development to Taiwan, and that also led to the deep Japanese style in the field of Taiwanese baseball. On the other hand, due to the geographic location, Taiwan was affected by Japan relatively more than other countries, in terms of culture, customs, public feelings, and language. Overviewing the field of baseball in Taiwan, from the elementary levels of baseball to the supreme temple of baseball, professional baseball, the culture of Japanese baseball was highly accepted. Among those baseball terms loaned from Japan, even the public who are not familiar with baseball know a few of them. The research also observed some problems in Taiwan''s loaned Japanese baseball books such as lack of vocabulary and non-actual vocabulary.
