When does Yoshinobu Yamamoto finally ask to be posted?
And we have to face Yamamoto in Game 1… Dear god…
I'm too poor to pay for DAZN so I greatly appreciate you for the content 🙂
question, how highly do you value innings pitched when evaluating performance? Both Togo and Takahashi blew away everyone on the list except for Yamamoto, and so im curious as to how they finished so low.
Watching him pitch the opening game against Hanshin tonight, I was reminded of what an artisan Yasuhiro Ogawa can be on the mound. He has never been an overpowering pitcher, but the way he is able to baffle hitters and keep them off-balance has made him one of the most consistent and effective pitchers in the Central League. Ogawa consistently keeps his team in the game, and on the occasion can be absolutely brilliant.
Glad Dragon’s Takahashi is selected
BTW, do u value K/BB?
Quite interesting, no pitchers in the top 10 from Swallows, 2022 league champion. This means only dominating pitcher only never allow to get championship.
