Are Kodai Senga's Ghost Forks the Most UNHITTABLE Pitch in MLB? 

But do you love Kodai Senga?

As a Mets fan & half-Japanese New Yorker I’m ecstatic about Senga. Even though we traded superstar future Hall of Fame but aging pitchers Verlander & Scherzer we are still in decent shape for next year starter wise. We smartly traded them for top prospects & also got younger, more athletic & regained roster/payroll flexibility while widening our contention window which was small with al the older players we jettisoned. We have Senga, Quintana, Megill, Luchessi & Peterson. We have young ascending filthy pitchers in the minors like Blade Tidwell & Mike Vasil too. There is no doubt we will be adding at least 2 top of the rotation starters. Hopefully we sign Japanese ace Yamamoto & someone like Blake Snell or Jordan Montgomery.

tbf he is 6’8, im 6’6 and once you get this big all you gotta do is learn how to sequence your motions and whatever leaves your hand is probably gonna be flames

It reminds me of graterol and how effortless he throws. Seems like there is almost no follow thru

I have to disagree about ROY, I think we're past the point where we should be treating seasoned players from the NPB as rookies. We aren't signing their rookies; we're signing their professionals.

@@MrBendylawthat’s actually a really interesting point…until or unless they change the rule I’d still consider him bc he’s eligible but I’ve never thought of that. On one hand NPB is said to be between AAA and mlb level competition so it is a jump up as well as the fact that it’s the MLB NL ROY and he is objectively a rookie to to the mlb. On the other hand a lot of these guys have had 5ish years at “quadruple A” competition level and they’ve been playing professional baseball at a higher level than any other rookie and I do think the foreign leagues deserves the respect of still being their countries highest level professional baseball. There’s a reason people will mention peoples stats combined between MLB and NPB but not between MLB and MILB

@@baseballer8370The way I look at it is, the NPB has major league level pitching for sure, and I know this because I watch their staff abuse us and the rest of the world every 4 years. I'm a bit biased on this subject, to be fair, since Hideo Nomo beat out Chipper Jones for ROY many moons ago. In any case, Senga will probably get some votes for Cy Young, and this is exactly what I said before the season started; and that I thought he was probably a greater threat than a washed up Verlander or Scherzer to my Braves. The Japanese system produces some truly evil pitching.

in the league

You were spooning out a lot of compliments there.

Eury will be a cy young guy next year. He’s crazy

MLB puts them out occasionally in their articles on mlb.com.
