Tsuyoshi Shimoyanagi
In reading the box score for Hanshin's 9-2 win over SoftBank, I noticed that Tsuyoshi Shimoyanagi was pulled after 5 innings and only 66 pitches. Did something bad happen or is this a typical work load for him?

Shimoyanagi pitches very well, but normally only has a maximum endurance of six innings. Okada pulls pitchers once they start to get hit, so it was a combination of both in this game. He would have only pitched one more inning had he stayed, but he did finish the fifth inning.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
