It is the week of Asian Baseball Championship, so I want to write about a new prospect in NPB(Probably not a prospect, cause he is too famous to be a prospect now).
Darvish, a Iranian-Japanese baseball starting pitcher, is listed as 196cm and 85 kg, which give him great advantages over other pitchers in NPB. Last year, I still think Darvish only use his inborn advantages to scare off some hitters in NPB, for he used and control breaking balls poorly. With a fastball hanging in the early 90s and a poorly controlled breaking ball, he is just a ‘potential’ ace for Hokkaido Nippon Ham fighters.
But after one season, this year I found Darvish really is able to improve himself in such a short time. With a more versatile pitching, he is 15W5L with a 1.82 ERA in 2006 to 2007 season.
After the leaving of Matsuzaka and the ongoing injuries of Saito, Darvish certainly is the one that carries the honor of the ace of Japan now.
