Mr.Miyagi pitcher is a really good pitcher.
14:08 As a Korean and Mariners fan, I'm still traumatized by this.....hahah and I remember the next day at school, all of my jock classmates and history teacher egged me on about it...............
Always love and appreciate your channel's content. It helps eliminate the noise from most US MLB UA-camrs that ultimately spread disinformation or uniformed speculation.
As a Japanese, this channel is fantastic! Grow the NPB in USA!! 🎉
Great content! Thanks for posting. How long do you estimate it will take Roki to acclimate to MLB pitching? Is it fair for teams to expect him to be #1 starter in 2025?
Roki isn't ready to be a #1 in 2025. He hasn't even shown he can handle a full NPB season workload. Even if his stuff is ready for MLB (maybe it is maybe it isnt) it would be an unprecedented shock for him to hold up physically the whole year.
@@LotteBlueJays Actual experts don't seem to expect him to hit the ground running. They see 2025 as a year where he's getting acclimatized. Even Paul Skenes was workload managed. I am looking forward to seeing what he can do in 2026 and beyond!
This was the best discussion you have had with a guest. It was Very entertaining and informative .
そもそもセ・リーグにはdhがなく、パ・リーグにはdhがある この差がある時点で状況が対等では無い
それな、打者9人の中にボーナスステージがあるようなもんよ
@ 打者の能力以上に終盤に自分の打席で替えられるセ・リーグの方がきついけどね パ・リーグみたいに自分の打席がない方がある程度投げれるから防御率も良くなりやすいし、投球回も増やせる セ・リーグで早い回に大量失点したら高確率で次の打順で替えられるが、パ・リーグならある程度投げさせてもらえる
@@プロレス好き-c8z でもセリーグなら最弱打者がいるところがパリーグだと最強打者が並んでるよ

Where is Daichi Ohsera? He made a great comeback this season and was Sugano's level... Also no Tokoda, no Morishita, what's your problem with the Carp? They were leading the league until their disastrous september, and their starters were a big part of it.
I’m a pacific league watcher, but I appreciate Carps from central league. I was hoping for them to win this year :(
Osera has a much worse xFIP and K-BB% than Sugano.
That makes Ohsera more clutch in his groundballs...

2 future Yankees
As an Orix fan, I can assure you that even though Miyagi had more losses than wins, many of the fans know that it’s because of no run support. The Orix nonexistent offence this year was so ridiculous. When the last match got cancelled midway causing Miyagi to be unable to meet the minimum innings pitched, I honestly cried for him. The Orix batters were so bad during the season, often becoming out in just a few pitches but of all days, they decided to keep fouling pitches on that day in the hope of getting on base which caused the game to progress very slowly and it was raining and eventually the match was cancelled midway because of rain. Tbh after Orix had a large lead early on in the game and it’s Miyagi pitching, I think the batters should have prioritised progressing the game faster because it was raining and there’s a high chance the match will get cancelled midway because of rain and they knew Miyagi needed to get more outs in order to meet the minimum innings pitched to get the ERA title. It was revealed afterwards that one of the coaches had told the players “since it’s the last match, could you at least try and prolong your at bat and get on base”. It’s ironic that of all days, they decided to work harder on the one day where Miyagi needed them to be quick outs rather than give him more run support.
The Orix offense made the team so unwatchable in 2024. Massive disappointment for fans. The bats need to step up this upcoming season if they want to keep fan morale up
@ I happened to look up Orix’s past pennant positions and noticed that most of the years they were in the bottom three except for the years when they had good batters so I think until the next good batter(s) appear, it’s gonna be difficult for Orix to be in the top 3 positions. When I started watching them in 2021, I immediately noticed their offence was very lacking compared to other teams.
One inning. One inning more and he would have won the ERA title. Their pitching looks like it's going to be absolutely filthy across the board next season, but the hitting was so inconsistent you could never figure out whether they were contenders or not. After the Yokohama series during interleague, they were untouchable, but after the all-star break they forgot how to hit until the end of August. If the hitters can be more consistent this season, they'll definitely be contenders.
As a swallows fan this was very painful to watch
As a carp fan this was also very painful to watch
@Nationals2029 as a fellow nationals fan watching all my teams play is very painful to watch
スワローズは狭い神宮球場が本拠地だからピッチャーが活躍するのは難しい それが原因でfaなどでもいいピッチャーはヤクルトスワローズに移籍してこない 成績が悪くなる可能性が高くなるからだ 逆に言えばヤクルトはバッティングのチーム
@ 説明ありがとうございます
2年程前から日本ハムのファンは伊藤をエースと呼んでいたものの実際にはエースと言えるほどの良いピッチングはできていなかったが、後半戦の伊藤はエースにふさわしい内容であったことは言うまでもない。
打線が悪いっちゃあ悪いからなぁ
@@mikutea686 伊藤が良いか悪いかに打線関係ある?
The Mighty Katoh!!! It was so great to watch his 2024 season!
Roki, shohei, yoshi, Snell, Glasnow…. That’s one hell of a rotation
Sugano is lower-body scandals, low-morale pitcher. lol
Sugano is going to get lit up! Typical cheap Orioles move.
嘲笑 (≧∀≦)
Is there anyway to contact you, I am interested in an interview for WBAL Radio home of the Baltimore Orioles for more information on Sugano. Thanks
Legendary stuff as always!
Underrated channel. Love you content fr
Super fun video! Thanks for posting
Appreciate the new mic/mixing.
Aoyagi changed his number between '22 and '23 and immediately fell off. Coincidence? I think not!
As always, great timely post and more of why this is a great channel. Thank you!
Aoyagi would have a hard time waiting for a MLB team to sign him, because I believe a starting pitcher with sidearm or submarine pitch is something exclusive to Japan. Most importantly, Aoyagi’s unique pitching style is the mix of sidearm and submarine.
Makita years ago was not able to live up with the submarine hype. Makita's versatility helped him to earn a bullpen spot in the Padres roster. I am not sure how much Aoyagi is compatible to a bullpen spot or he is even willing to do so
@@tatsuyaarai6029 if he is willing to go be a bullpen piece he should be ok. Tyler Rogers has made a great career as a side armer coming out of the bullpen.
I would love for Ogasawara to go to the 'stros. Josh Miller would definitley help improve Oga's pitching.
My first reaction to the sugano deal was how much of a steal it feels like.. and why can't the jays do this 😭 glad he signed this time around but part of me wishes his first attempt was successful to truly showcase his skills
I have been curious about his first attempt. Did he decline an offer because it wasn't good enough or did things just not work out because of the COVID shutdown?
@@jykim3604 honestly no idea, I think it may be a mix of it all, from the shut down, to the lack of time to discuss with how the posting system is..
Thanks for keeping us up to date 🙏 mlb network only talks about Sasaki
I've been a Yokohama fan for decades and felt like I was dreaming. Baystars used to be such an underdog..
Hayato Sakamoto is a superstar in Japanese baseball.
Right now, I am hoping the Astros will trade for Seiya Suzuki while signing Shinnosuke Ogasawara. How is that for Opening Day at Daikin Park?!
Such a good list and not even a slot for Kimiyasu Kudoh--one of my all-time favorite pitchers. It shows you how much talent the NPB has. Great episodes. Thank you for all the hard work that is put into them.
Do you think there's any chance Tomoya Mori is our catcher at 2026 WBC? Also, what do you think are the chances of a Yoshida Kondoh Suzuki OF at 2026 WBC?
god thats a rough defensive line. I like kondoh defensively but not ideal in center
I'd think they prefers Yudai Yamamoto at C
@@derkaiserzen would love i being matsuo
@@derkaiserzen *it
I didn't know bro looks so good when he was young
What do you think about Tatsumi from Rakuten?
56:27 Definitely Hiroto Takahashi will be a second generation Yoshinobu Yamamoto if he stay healthy. He struggled a little bit with his command at the beginning of the year to copy Yamamoto's form, but he was dominant once he mastered. I highly believe he will be the next pitcher to have a hype once Sasaki goes to major. An interesting fact is that he chose to go to university, but he wasn't approved, so he chose to subscribe to go pro.
I wished you put a time mark for each guy but great work.
1:23:07 Yuudai Yamamoto not making 50 you missed? Dude just got the gold glove with some decent offensive numbers too
Well, this is his review of his top 50 players prediction video earlier, so of course there will be some player missing.
Yeah you’re right I forgot about him because he missed the last month of the season. He was top 50 worthy for sure and will be pretty high on my 2025 list.
