Video of Junichi Tazawa

http://eastwindupchronicle.com/some-tazawa-footage/

 

Over at East Windup Chronicle they posted a 5 min video of Junichi Tazawa game footage.  He throws his two best secondary pitches, the curveball + splitter thing.  You get a pretty good look at his pitching style.  He reminds me of Buchholz, relying on his curveball mostly, not very confindent in his fastball.  Tazawa does seem to have some potential.  I need to get to 75 words so, ignore this last sentence.  Thanks!

Something tells me

he’s going to get rocked by lefties. Just a hunch…

Man do I hate Longhorn fans, well except for the ones that actually went there.

Yeah

he needs work, no doubt about it. I am impressed with his two off speed pitches. Overall I like him, good signing, lets see what happens when a MLB farm system gets him in camp.

Oi, that splitter looks like it hurts the wrist to throw.

Good curve, not the best fielder though.

Wow, some of those Japanese batters have REALLY weird stances + swings. Ooh, he’s got a Pedro pitch!

Yeah

But I bet they think the way Americans hit is weird, too.
