It’s a common tool among pitchers in Japan’s NPB, where Yamaguchi spent the last 14 seasons, including a dominant 2.78-ERA 2019 in which he struck out 194 over 181 innings. But MLB hitters aren’t as accustomed to its action and can look foolish trying to square it up, particularly ones that sell out for power in lieu of contact.
Yamaguchi cruised through his first inning Saturday, retiring the side on only 12 pitches. He got into a couple long battles with Logan Forsythe and Deivy Grullon in the second, but came out unscathed, getting the former to fly out and the latter to chase a third strike.
ArdenZwelling Reminder about how unimportant win/loss is in preseason. Only used a few pitches which hitters most likely keyed on by 3rd inning
