Anyone have any info on this guy, all I've heard is that he's got a mid 90's fastball and a hard slider. Just wondering if he's the next Hideo Nomo or the next Junichi Tazawa and if he's worth pay attention to fantasy wise

He would have been very intriguing, BUT he's elceetd to sign in Japan. People often forget the human element- he's a kid forced between making a very good living in his home country and making even more overseas. We may hear about him again in a few years though...

I saw him pitch more than once.

He is staying in Japan for a few years at least and was drafted by the Seibu Lions

apparently the old folks in his life squashed his dreams of going to MLB and he ended his press conference in tears ...

You can't script stuff like that. That's why I love sports!
