Wouldn't be shocked if he had one or two bad starts early on while still adjusting and redditards used it to gloat as if a pitcher still decently young and not far removed from a Cy Young wouldn't do well in Japan.
That’s exactly what happened, and /r/baseball deleted his good start posts lol. /r/mlb is based though, as that’s where I found this, and the post was unlocked at the time.
Is this guy playing in Japan now? Don't know anything about the story just noticing his name up there.
Last I heard he was doing terribly overseas. But he must have turned it around because his year end stats are fine, 11-4 with a 2.59 ERA.

Good for him.

Is it based, or is it just normal? I'm hesitant to call something based if it is just merely "not ridiculously cucked."
