Throws up to 103mph, is only 22, nearly threw back to back perfect games two years ago with like 14-18 Ks in both.
But he can’t be posted for 3 more years or so. Or he could maybe do what Shohei did and force his way over early like next offseason, but he’d be leaving so much money on the table (especially now given what the market just paid Yamamoto) and be stuck on a normal 6 year, 3 year minimum 3 year arbitration deal.
But he’s coming. Perhaps the most talented pitcher in the world.
