It is important to note that the Cubs picked up Hendricks's option. He will not be lost to free agency.

Thanks! Good callout, by the time I recorded the audio over the weekend, his option wasn’t exercised yet but I’ll pin your comment so people can see the update.

@@BestNewsClips well Andy Martino clarified a bit on that. Its not that he doesn't want to play for a team with no Japanese players. In Japanese culture, the only way they will consider a team that already has a Japanese star would be if that said star invites them to to the team. Its a way to show respect and Kodai Senga has made it very clear that he would be welcome and wants Yamamoto there.

@JabroniBaseball9 ай бұрын
@@BestNewsClips I still think they have a pretty good shot. The Yankees meet all the criteria with being a big city, a ton of money to spend and the legacy of big names like Ichiro, Hideki Matsui and Masahiro Tanaka before him. Im sure he'd love to be connected to names like that.

The Giants could be the dark horse there but Yamamoto has said that’s he’s keeping an open mind playing with Japanese players. In fact he’s said one of his main objectives is going to a team where he can seamlessly transition to MLB life

The Dodgers have said the same thing. This guy would be a fool to sign with the Giants. I assume he would prefer to win which isn't going to happen with that team. Yes I know that the Dodgers choke in postseason BUT the lack of pitching played a huge part in that too

9 strikeouts per 9 is not insane, it’s about average a lil above. Great k pitchers get like 14 ks per 9. That’s insane. 9 is most of mlb. His era whip and wins are insane. No home runs insane. He seems legit but will it transfer. He can get left handed ichiro type hitters. All of Japan. Left handed hitters in America are very different than Japanese who all bat like ichiro. I’d like to see his splits lefties vs righties maybe I’ll look this guy up. Either way looks like he’ll be a star at least as good as daisuke likely better.
@JabroniBaseball9 ай бұрын
You’re absolutely right. Definitely not insane at a glance. He relies a lot on soft contact if you watch his starts. What is nice about his k/9 stat is he can seemingly turn the strikeouts up at will when he uses his splitter and curveball more often.

Pretty simple, he's Japan's best hitter, Japanese kids grew watching him so they emulate. Plus most Japanese players aren't 6'5 like Ohtani, so they aren't power hitters. Shorter players, hit for contact.
