Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Anybody ever heard of, Akinori Otsuka? He's a 1st year set-up man who has pretty much dominated so far. They were even talkin about him being a possible rookie of the year canidate. He has a 1.54 era in 23.1 innings pitched. The league is hitting only .150 against him to go along with 26 strike outs.

southsider2k5 Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Has anyone seen him pitch? I am curious what he features and what he motion looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandwhite Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 He has a very funny delivery.. He looks like hes going to throw his arm out and then completely stops in his motion and then throws.. the Mets protested the delivery earlier this year infact.

witesoxfan Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 I've heard of him. In fact, he's on one of my fantasy teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 His delivery is quite cheap. I don't how they let it go. He pauses midway into his motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 He has a 1.54 era in 23.1 innings pitched. The league is hitting only .150 against him to go along with 26 strike outs. That's impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 It totally looks like a balk to me. That double pump in his motion just throws off a batter's timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 San Diego need him big time in their pen to get to Hoffman. Could be a big difference in them winnin the NL West this season, and u hav to say they are definitely favourites now. Will be in the Beltran sweepstakes as well.
