Yoshinori Sato: Start #3 vs Hiroshima Carp (4/18/2009)
by Gen on Apr.20, 2009 @ 7:23 am, under NPB
I thought Yoshinori Sato's last start was pretty solid and decided I'd breakdown his pitches. It's really too bad that he had to leave the game early due to a popped blister on his throwing hand.
The next WBC could turn out to be really interesting for Japan. A trio of Yu Darvish, Masahiro Tanaka, and Yoshinori would be pretty awesome.
