Welcome Masataka Yoshida to the Boston Red Sox 

we love him already

Show up. Come fill up Fenway. The more the better

he’s in good hands

Dude just hit an absolute bomb in world class. I think he’ll do just fine for us 💪

Judging from his WBC performance i am pretty optimistic...

Japanese pitchers are nasty too. Based on his WBC performance he should adjust quickly

in ways he is better, he will whiff 1/2 as much as Soto w/ same average... NipponPro IS not diff, ur thinking 1970-2000... when their parks were smaller and they threw sidearm down under all junk, now they all take protein sups eat meat go gym and many throw 95-100. they have a ton of great hitters NOW with 450'++ pop, like old days of Kawakami Oshita Fujimura Betto Aota Nishzawa Kozuru etc.

And the answer turned out to be no. No it would not take awhile. Holy shit he's a natural

As a Red Sox fan boy someone should have told him this team nowhere close to sniffing the post season in the next few years.

@@shanebarger878 true. But, still you gotta love his confidence.

I don't think the numbers will translate 1:1 to MLB due to stronger pitching but he'll manage. and Fenway's layout should work for him as well!

@Alex Lackner it's hard to argue with that. The pitching clock is going to help him. The ability to adjust and able to hit the ball to where he likes is unique to him. It's Ichiro-like. He gets all barrel on the ball which makes it travel a long way. He himself is not that strong. One year he only struck out like 26 times. He just sees the ball very well. The green monster will also help him as the distance itself is not that long, which would have him bounce the balls to the wall, possibly upping his doubles output. .310 is a dream , but .340 is possible given the pitch clock and green monster are added to the equation of possible for most possible outcome. You can already see this. It's not like in the WBC, the pitchers are nobodies. These pitchers are MLB pitchers and he is hitting them just as good as he did in NPB. He is the best hitter since Ichiro.

Agree 100%!a

Who tf is bogy

@@Iseeghostsnow Xander....

@@Iseeghostsnow wade boggs?

No

Ya about 4 of them. Blooms gonna go with the minor leaguers and when Sale gets hurt again (witch will happen) the 5th will be a bullpen day. This teams gonna have the highest team era in the league.

Swanson would be a great addition to any team. He's flat out a great player.

Nah mookie betts is 5 9 and he did fine

Jose altuve is also 5’6

that's pretty high expectation tho. He's not home runs guy, instead he can constantly hits and high average hitter

He can hit for power, but an RBI machine is his sweet spot

Please take care of our Masataka!

That’s true! But why you mentioned about his English? Do you speak Japanese or other languages excluding English?
