the throwing philosopher

How can you not love this guy. Great vibe and creative pitching. He will prob get roughed up later this season, but it's going good so far!

超強！繼續加油！

Eventually hitters will adjust to Imanaga. Then Imanaga will have to make adjustments. That's the way the game is played. That will be the real test. I hope his success continues.

Do you remember the final of WBC 2023？ He was the starter of team Japan in this game！

What a stud!

He is great.

Holy... His composure and maturity are incredible. Other players also seem to have faith in Shota. The Cubs 2024 are really a well-organized team. I won't be surprised if the Cubs go to the postseason and the World Series.

Imanaga was brilliant. Nothing to do but tip my cap to him....

Many fans think this at least once. Why don't pitchers just keep throwing for strikes? This is a man who does just that. (Usually the pitching coach would be upset.)

Senga is in the east (Mets) along with Maeda (Tigers)

It feels great to watch him get strikeouts with a 90 mph fastball.

Its too early to evaluate him but he is doing beyond expectation so far. The concern is that he often goes to IL and couldn't keep rotation throughout the season when he was in japan so lets hope he stays healthy.
