Shota Imanaga lowers his season ERA to 0.96! | 今永昇太の圧巻パフォーマンス 

Imanaga should definitely go to the All Star game!!!

He is the future of baseball. He's not big, and he's not particularly fast. But he's overwhelming. I think he's a player who will give dreams to kids who will play baseball in the future. I think he's worthy of praise.

今永の登板が楽しみでたまらん

He’s my MVP pick

今永またやってくれた‼️ しかもブレーブス相手にこの投球はすごい ってかMLBさん日本語でもタイトル付けてくれてありがとう

Rookie of the Year

ナイスピッチング今永最高❤😊

"An excuse of no run support can be made only by pitchers of 0.x ERA." - Shota Imanaga, in 2016 Now, you can say something.

Imanaga is the #1 pitcher in the WORLD right now!!!

How come you didnt show his TWO pickoffs?!! That's just as impressive as anything he did in this game!

To have imanaga save 6 wins is basically incredible. You cant win all the time but to have very few batters beat your throw is already proof why he is one of the SPs for Japan

Amazing pitcher, it was a good game and i wish the best for him for the rest of his career⚾️

Damn. Still going. I’m amazed.

あなたは私達のヒーローだ

This is why SHOTA IMANAGA is known as the "PITCHER PHILOSOPHER" his creative crafting pitching styles is amazingly flawless.

ストレートで空振り三振を取れるのは、観ていて気持ちイイ。

Bravo to this maestro !!

日本でもこういうピッチングしていたはずなんだけど、とにかくコントロールが良い。

Best pitcher this season

Yamamoto is doing really good but you can’t ignore the fact that imanaga’s contract is worth about half as much as Yamamoto’s, and Imanaga is doing stellar right now

Legend

Hes the best pitcher in baseball so far this season. Solid amd comsistenf.

Impressive and he's got nice comand as well. Keep up the good work 👍.

Monster❤

制球乱れてるけど、ブレーブス抑えてるの凄い！

一球一球に気持ちがこもってる　集中力が凄い

投げる哲学者🔥

What a beast

Wow, this guy so much fun!

ATL打線は掛け値なしにMLB最強、だがそんなバッター達は今永のフォーシームの前に長打を打てず軽打で繋ぐのが精一杯だった これは本当に凄い事をやっている

Dam this Cubs offense looks pathetic right now, poor Shota man.😞

Let's play in the Imanaga ERA 0.96 All-Star Game and win the + Cy Young Award + Rookie of the Year

I see Imanaga, I click 👍

Showtime Imanaga

The best free agent signing so far this season in terms of cost and effectiveness. His contract amount is roughly 1/6 of Yamamoto's and his average annual salary is slightly less than half, but he is performing far better than Yamamoto's.

As a cubs fan I say RU-vid TV NEEDS MARQUEE

今永が投げる回転数の多いフォーシームは、ある意味魔球とも言える。すでにデータも映像も見ているであろうMLBの強打者がことごとく空振りするのは圧巻の一言。

飛翔しない今永は無敵

great！！

Imanaga has definitely outperformed Yamamoto thus far in the season.

Shota! 🎉

He is doing great so far. Now, to win cy he need to keep average of at least 6 innings per start. Thats the only improvement he need to deal with

Unbelievable! How great hebis!

後続がすぐ点を取られたのが印象的です

Cooooooool!

Best deal for this season

日本人です。この偉大なスポーツを産んでくれたアメリカに感謝します。ありがとう。

太厲害了😂

私たち日本人は、彼がここまで活躍してることに驚いています😮

ちゅえっ！

As of right now this dude is the clear Cy Young winner and it’s not even close

5 IP, 7 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 8 K Imanaga was pulled after five innings because the Braves made him throw too many pitches, but he continued to go scoreless! 🙌

ブレーブス相手にこのピッチングはすごい🎉 勝ちが付けば一番良かった😅

SHOTA IMANAGA🇯🇵🗾

honestly all 3 cubs starters have ridiculous low ERA compared to their last season... Maybe you should breakdown the catcher pitch sequence and analysis, he is doing amazing job

日本人初のサイ・ヤング賞取るのが今永だったとは

Wow~

🔥🔥🔥

🔥superoova 🔥IMANAGA🔥

「Swing and a miss」が今永のトレンドになりそうだ。

Imanaga > Yamamoto

Awesome!

Love Japan and the global game it will also continue in Korea and Taiwan and other countries love to see it Yamamoto and Ohtani 🔥

正直ここまで活躍すると思ってた人ほとんどおらんやろ

It is quite natural for No1 pitcher of Yokohama IMANAGA.😊

ピッチングの哲学者 = A Throwing Philosopher

must watch tv when this guy faces the dodgers...

Imanaga is the best, even in the worst condition

Shota Imanaga might be the first Japanese pitch to win the Cy and MVP, he's winning the Cy for sure if his era is 1.80ish with 12+ wins by year end. The NL MVP might not be obtainable but he should be in the running.

Rookie of the year and Cy Young, and no doubt if continues this path could be the most valuable player if Ohtani allows it.

チームが今永のいいところを引き出す有効な起用法をしている

He reminds me of Fernando Valenzuela a bit. Lefty, good command, not overpowering but mixes it up enough to keep hitters guessing

ニューヒーロー

♡♡♡

If only he had the run support. . . . .

The secret of his invincible pitch is in his beer belly.

Both the best pitcher this season and the prospective best player in the baseball history hail from Japan. What’s wrong with US training system?

今永、達比修有跟三本都把日本投手的控球力帶上了

He was not on his A-game tonight but still came out of it unscathed.

Just imagine if the cubs had a decent bullpen…..

So, why nobody else picked him up with a higher contract? Cubs seemed to get an amazing bargain, and I wonder why this happened.

Imanaga was good, but the Braves had him on the ropes with 7 runners left on base. Counsel purposely went out to argue with the first base ump to get him a unofficial visit from his pitching coach. Wasted a bunch of time (for him to rest and reset) getting thrown out, then the ump gave him warm up pitches (coming into a 3-2 count with the bases loaded) when his own team wasted the game time. Probably saved his ERA, from getting tacked with a couple of runs. Either way, Braves won and Imanaga is the best Japanese pitcher in MLB, should get an All-Star spot.

As a Dodgers fan he deserves the 300 million contract more than Yamamoto

いや、ようやっとる

Amazing because this guy was good, but not great in Japan. He comes over to the MLB and is setting the world on fire. Conversely, there have been great pitchers in Japan, who have come over and have been average or even struggled.

I thought his was mob the show 😂😂

今永が打席に...

苦しい時に時間を稼いでくれたCraig Counsell監督ありがとう。

Not sure why ppl complaining about Shota's lack of run support. The Cubs were going against Reynaldo Lopez, the second best pitcher in baseball. This was a pitching duel.

Would be even lower than that if they didn't push him and send them out for the seventh thing in his last start, where he gave up two runs in that inning. Seems to be a solid 5 to 6 inning type of pitcher.

Imanaganna hit that.⚾

高めは浮き上がって、低めは沈んでしまう。打者はボールが視界から消える様な感じを受けるのだろうか？

今永選手が投げると、チーム全体が勝ちに行く気持ちが強くなってるように感じます。 シカゴ・カブス良いチーム👏 そして、熱いファンに感謝です。 🇯🇵

👍👍👍👍

NAGA🐍

前回今回勝敗つかずだけど、サイヤング級を続ける今永、1年間攻略されずにシーズンを終えますように。

CyYoung Mode

Dominated again!!!

I want to see him vs The Phillies, Texas and Baltimore

With how good pitching technology and design is they need rein in the strike zone.
