I whole-heartedly agree. He was very unfortunate to lose those games, but the numbers and his sheer dominance of PL batters speak for themselves. Congratulations Kazumi!

Fukuoka should just hope he doesn't struggle like he did in 2004 or Sugiuchi did this year to a certain extent.

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.

Saitoh suffered two of the most heartbreaking 1-0 losses in two of the best post-season pitching duels ever, but when a pitcher captures the Pacific League pitching triple crown and finishes the season with an unreal 1.75 ERA in 201 innings, it's not hard to see why this was the unanimous choice.
