Looks like Shohei Otani is gonna be the next majorly hyped Japanese pitcher. 20 years old, throws 100 MPH, said to already be better than Darvish and Tanaka were in their time in the Japanese leagues.
Stats on the year so far: 5-0, 0.80 ERA, 33.2 IP, 17 h, 9 BB, 38 K
Oh...and he's also a pretty good hitter and plays the outfield twice a week.
