Just watched his interview with Pitching Ninja and amazed on how many pitches he had and when Ninja asked "how many of them that you confident to throw in a game" and he just nonchalantly said "Everything"
It's been a shame to see Darvish struggle so much in his last fourteen starts. I'm not sure if the crackdown on "sticky stuff" took him out of his comfort zone, or if he's tipping anything, or just what's wrong with him ... but 17 HR allowed in his last 76 innings is very concerning. Hopefully he'll pull out of it; the sooner, the better. He's definitely a guy who's easy to root for, and I wish him well.
Has had back problems since May. Most of the games since he cant consistently throw his FB or curve for strikes, so hitters just sit on Slider/Cutter and wait for a mistake.
He's had an ok MLB career. But not a great one. Beside the injuries, I sometimes think he's just pitching to fulfill his contract, or just well enough to get a new one.

Yu was my first idol in NPB
Actually I started watching NPB just to watch darvish and I realise how I love NPB
I admire and respect him. I hope he performs well without injury until he retires.
I’m a big fan of Yu Darvish 🥰 I actually started watching Baseball because of him ❤ Go Darvish 👏🏼
another awesome video! Those numbers in NPB are unreal
Great video about my second most favorite Japanese pitcher. He is a master of pitching with a very elegant delivery.
Japan's Ace. The 2nd coming of Kimiyasu Kudo.

Poor Farid. His 13(!) pitcher mates in the Friars were down with injury 😭

He's been pitching like trash lately, especially after the crackdown. His spin rates are way down. Makes you think...
