According to Rockies manager Clint Hurdle, he say "Tsao makes it look effortless, but he throws it hard." [Link - MLB.com]

Doesn't Tsao wish he wasn't pitching at Coors Field (is it still called that)? I mean, players just put their bat on that fastball and a fly ball flies into the darkness.

The radar gun said he pitched at 100 mph, but I think that was rather inaccurate. Tsao didn't have his best stuff that day and averaged (the few pitches before) at around 92 mph. Also, the pitch that hit 100 mph was also a foul ball hit straight back, and therefore the radar gun might've made it seem faster. But I'm still happy for Tsao for throwing so hard, though.
About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
