Is beisbol culturally relevant?

Yes

There are countless baseball style shirts for all sorts of entities that have absolutely nothing to do with the sport. With that and Yankees/Dodgers caps, the fashion at the very least has definitely permeated throughout the world. The language of baseball also seeps into many idioms and even terms that get picked up by other sports. Boxing uses "southpaw", but the word's origins are distinctly baseball. Lastly, baseball is a mindset which even those who have no idea about it are inherently attuned to even if they don't realize it.

even if the sport dies the equipment will live on as a blunt object for beating people

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t NPB players play with Romanji on their jerseys anyway? This just seems like a quick cash grab, “American baseball jersey but Nihon!”

yeah but it's been a thing since the 2010s. fashion brands stared this trend. also, fonts they use are kinda wierd for Japs.

Yes, though modern MLB mostly isn't. Baseball itself is extremely relevant even with its waning popularity.
