There are few things more pleasing to watch than an ace pitcher throwing heat or fooling batters with off-speed filth. Here's one of the Pacific League's finest practicing their craft.
Simply put, Yoshinobu Yamamoto was the best pitcher in Japan in 2021. Going 18-5 in the regular season with an unheard of 1.39 ERA, 6 complete games, and 4 shutouts, Yamamoto was a shoo-in for the Eiji Sawamura Award, leading the Buffaloes to the Pacific League pennant and a Japan Series berth, and added MVP honours to that too. His four-pitch mix includes a mid-90s fastball, cutter, curveball, and his mighty splitter. His 202 strikeouts were more than anyone else in Japan: here they all are (hope you've got time!)
