Kuroda has had success also but has played for terrible teams, we'll see what he does in NY.<br /><br />All I am saying is that Japanese pitchers are a risky move.

Because of this he is bigger (listed at 6 foot 5), throws harder (in his youtube he hits 155 kilometers per hour which translates to 94 miles per hour), and has a very smooth windup, which no one from Japan has had. Because of all of these things I think he is different than any other Japanese pitcher and will be better then them all.<br /><br />Also lastly, Hideo Nomo won rookie of the year and threw two no hitters, so it isn't like he was terrrible.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245542512605457437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724133632791120098.post-25673496641599723002012-03-06T15:50:52.958-08:002012-03-06T15:50:52.958-08:00I dont think Yu Darvish will get close to sniffing...I dont think Yu Darvish will get close to sniffing the Cy Young. Different leagues, different type of ball. Hideo Nomo was the best pitcher out of Japan and that was because of his windup.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
