Everyone said shohei is the showtime and now it turns out another “shotam” is here

He is a real deal

Dudes mechanics are insane. He throws hitters off with his leg kick. Sometimes he does a fast leg kick and sometimes a slow one. Crazy.

That’s really tough on hitters because the possibilities are infinite being able to do that effectively. Imagine the dude speeding up his mechanics it looks like he’s going to throw fastball but it’s the changeup. Next time he speeds up his leg kick he throws heat it’s almost unhittable… his command is insane too so even if you manage to get tha bat on the ball it’s either a fly out or a ground ball

This dude is killing it without a t shirt!

made in Japan brand

If you don't fully stop at red lights when turning he will strike you out

He is absolutely killing it even more than when he was pitching in NPB. Seriously, never saw this level of play when he was with Yokohama.

So a batter is not supposed to show up a pitcher when he hits a home run, but a pitcher can gloat when he strikes out a batter.
