Fujikawa will step in as the closer for now until Kubota's back.

Sounds like the best save he's recorded all year.

Well, I wish Kubota a quick recovery, but I for one feel a little better with Fujikawa in the closer position. He's been pretty unhittable this year.

We're gonna miss Kubota's Hanshin Tigers reggae song when he comes out, but how awesome is Fujikawa's theme? I laughed when I first heard it, but it really works for him. There's something scary about a pitcher with a 0.20 ERA who comes out to the poppiest J-Pop song ever. The fans love it, too.
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.

Apparently he rushed to catch his infant daughter who was about to fall out of her pram, and struck his arm hard on the ground.
Kubota has been removed from the active roster.
