I don't know how words are listed in Japanese-English dictionaries, but if it's like in a regular Japanese dictionary it would be a poain, because it is listed by alphabetical order even though they don't use the alphabet. So when you look at the kanji you have no idea of how to pronounce it and therefore you can't look for it.

In a kanji dictionary the kanji are listed by number of strokes, but that would also be a pain, plus you only get the meaning of the isolate kanji, whereas the whole word may contain several and it would be difficult to guess the word's meaning just from each kanji's meaning.

Perhaps in a Japanese-English dictionary there's a much better way of finding stuff though, I don't know.

Also, since it's about baseball I guess many terms are in katakana, which can be read easily. Each "letter" is a syllable, so you can learn it quickly and most baseball terms would be in English.
