Shota Imanaga lowers his ERA to 0.84 (Best in MLB!) | 今永昇太 

Shota's the real deal - another Japanese baseball superstar taking over the MLB

0.84!!!!❤

After all, it was the standing ovation from Chicago Imanaga fans when the score was 0-2 in the seventh inning with two outs and runners on 1st and 2nd base in a pinch. A standing ovation usually occurs after a strikeout or a home run, but before the last pitch, everyone stood up and applauded, giving Shota strength in his pitching.It was the best moment. This is omitted in most digests, but in real life, everyone lent their strength to Shota, and in that moment when Shota struck out and roared in response to the fans, the hearts of Shota and the fans became one. I was moved to feel it

No pitcher in major league history has posted a lower mark through their first nine career starts His pitch is a must-see show

If Vote today Shota Wins CY hands down ! Wow he is amazing ⚾💪

Shota is definitely getting some Cy Young votes

He's the man closest to winning the Cy Young Award right now.

philosopher strikes again 💪

I think the crowd fuels him.

He is a Member of WBC Win team.

4 years 50 million is a steal

今永先生おめでとう🎉 byベイファン

"Only pitchers with sub 1 ERA can use the excuse that there is lack of run support." 　　　　　　　　　　────── The throwing Philosopher, Shota Imanaga (04/14/2016)

Shota is the best in the league. That's that.

The best off-season acquisition. No doubt!!

日本人初のCy Young Awardは今永がとるべき

The letter "C" shining brilliantly on his cap is that of the Cy Young.

Standing Ovation👏

ERA still under 1. Whoa!!

Blessings from Taiwan 🇹🇼 😇 🥰 Hope Shota will keep this up and win an award 🏆 Jesus loves everyone 😇 💝

Best pitcher in MLB at the moment!

His ERA of 0.84 is the best in nine starts since his debut, which ranks first in history. Breaking the record held by Valenzuela for the first time in 43 years.

Shota is definitely a contender for the Cy Young award!

Shota Imanaga was the ace of my beloved Yokohama DeNA BayStars! I'm proud! ! American bro, please join us in supporting the "Throwing Philosopher"! !

7回　しっかりと締めて、 悠然と歩く姿　カッコいい。 スタンドを沸かせる選手

awesome!

This guy is elite. Hes giving the cubs quality starts with sub 1 ERA yet this is 3rd straight non decision. Thats just not fair for him. The offense needs to step up man

Congratulations Cubs fans, you have a real good one there. Great to watch even if you are not a Cubs fan.

SHOTA BEYOND IMAGINATION 🤯

MLBファンの熱い声援に感動した！😂

Absolutely stunning!!! ❤

Shota está pegando fogo!

Single handedly CARRYING my fantasy pitching staff

ラスト1球の時にスタンディングオーベーションで、昇太を応援してくれてみんなありがとう

ERA below 1? Amazing

Imanaga is definitely the favourite to win the NL Cy Young, no one else is even close. If he finished the season with an ERA of 1.80ish and 12 wins it's over for everyone. He might even win the NL MVP if the Cubs goes deep in the playoff.

Great run support cubs...

Probably one of the best pitchers alive rn

Where have cubs sluggers gone???? Shota never complains though.

シーズン終わったらどんな成績になってんのか楽しみすぎる

すげー！！！😮😮😮

This guy might already be a better pitcher than Ohtani

Got my vote for cy young at the moment

Rookie of the Year and Cy Young at the same time. Has that ever happened

Imanaga's control is S+ tier. Reminds me a bit of Maddux.

Shota shows one thing that spin rate might be more important than velocity.

That fastball up high mixed in with splitter is deadly

WBCまではこんなに凄いピッチャーとは思わなかった

進化してる今永さんは我が日本のスター！

I love Imanaga, I just wish the offense could match as well.

Shota is unbelievable!!!! 🔥

I love watching Shota!

Long live japan. They rules mlb

良い投球をするのに100マイルのストレートも高い身長も必要ない すべての子供たちに希望を与える投手

怪物級。彼は今の成績は調子がいいだけと言っていた。でも今、日本で彼が求めていた投球ができているのは事実。 凄い。

now we have another SHOtime in chicago!!

He was a good starter as Baystars, and now is even BETTER one as Cubs, which I didn't expect.

Imanaga-sama Banzai! 🇯🇵

He joined this stage at 30's age, didn't get more attention than any new asian player like Yamamoto, Matsui or Lee... But showing more powerful pitching than any young player......like monster. Damn...he's Kaiju No.8 of MLB.

this guy is on fire.

I'm proud of you as a Japanease! He just so cool !!!

invisible fastball😂

Shota Imanaga is proud of the Yokohama Bay Stars.

I didn't expect this great history-making pitching from him when I heard his news going to MLB. Yamamoto ( Dodgers) had much bigger expectations than Imanaga. But Imanaga is making his lifetime greatest moment.

Just don’t use him like a rented mule to get more wins, give him min 5 days rest not 4 to keep him healthy.

Get him some run support!

The flow is unreal

Would be awesome if Shota and Yamamoto compete for the Cy Young

Shota the magician!

Dude is giving a dissertation on pitching, you don’t need to throw gas if you have absolute control. His career is probably going to be more healthy as a pitcher because of it.

He should be 9-0

We must not forget that the Japanese bench chose Shota Imanaga as the starting pitcher for the U.S. team, the strongest opponent in the WBC finals.

Interesting that the best pitcher in the MLB throws a 91 mph fastball.

I am Japanese.I'm glad he's doing well on the big stage.I hope the Cubs will win the World Series.Don't lose to the Dodgers! Hang in there!

IMANAGA "The Philosophical Pitcher"

彼はWBC決勝アメリカ戦での先発投手です 真の日本のエースです！

Dodgers : Yamamoto…….

Let’s go all star game !!

That's crazy.

今永は、素晴らしいピッチング！ アメリカで何年通用するか。 野茂英雄さんみたいに、頑張ってほしいです。

Good control Rising ball (Rise ball) and Split

I wish Shota and Skenes had gone head to head during this weekend. That would have been a pitching match up to behold.

that's crazy i remember everybody was going crazy for Yamamoto but Shota is outshining him

His 4 year salary = Yamamoto's sign bonus

He is the pitcher who started in the WBC final.

Imanaga Sensei tricked on MLB batters again today after only 3.5 days from last time.

crazy good. booth is right, if you get Acuna to swing thru a FB middle-middle you know you got something special cuz he doesn't miss those.

Rookie of the Year and Cy Young at the same time. Has that ever happened?

shota mania

援護がないって言ってるけど人多いけど守備が上手だから結構助けられてる

Nice pitching Shota,my favorite recovery wear is the best.I go to bed and wake up differently.

today he say "SHOTI IMANAGA"

91 mile fastball looks 100 mph

Shota is ridiculous 😮

Shota Imanaga has a chance to win the Cy Young and definitely Rookie of the Year award. Remember Jecob DeGrom in 2018 won the Cy Young went 10-9 with 1.71 ERA. And again in 2019 went 11-8 with 2.43 ERA. The Mets never scored runs for him but dominted with a great ERA like Shota Imanaga ⚾️.

The throwing Philosopher "Rising" Imanaga

he's not human !

もうただのバケモンやんけ

頼むから怪我には気をつけてくれ

Can’t wait to see SHOTA vs Othani
