Tsunetaro Moriyama (守山 恒太郎, Moriyama Tsunetarō, 27 April 1880 – 12 February 1912) was a Japanese baseball player.

Career

Born in Tokyo, he was a southpaw pitcher for the First Higher School (Ikkō).[1] He was famous for his hard training which enabled Ikkō to defeat the Yokohama Country & Athletic Club (YC&AC), the strongest team in Japan baseball during the late 1800s, after first losing to them.[1][2] He later studied medicine at Tokyo Imperial University and became a military doctor, but died when he was infected by the infectious disease he was studying.[1]

He was inducted into the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966.[2]
