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.
