Jason,
Believe it or not, SABR has an Asian Baseball Research Committee. Contact the chairman, Bill Staples (billstaplesjr on gmail) to see if the leagues you are interested in have been, or are being, researched. There's also a committee on baseball card history.
By the way, this is my 40th year as a SABR member and I've enjoyed being a part of a number of research projects and meeting others with similar interests (I believe I first interacted with Joe Gonsowski through SABR when he was still in high school). My latest project (nearly finished) is compiling a statistical history of the New England League (1885-1915).
