Knuckleballers in Japan
According to Japan Baseball Daily, the Carp are interested in knuckleballer Jared Fernandez. I understand that former Kintetsu Buffalo Rob Mattson threw some knuckleballs in games, but it was not his primary pitch. Two questions:
- Will Fernandez be the first true Knucklballer in Japan?
- How do you think he will do?

He will be the first true knuckleballer for sure. I think he will do well. He will have bad days as all knuckleballers, but he can eat up innings and give some stability to that Hiroshima Staff.
Now that Kuroda has amazingly re-signed, Hiroshima could be fun to watch!

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.
