Submarine Pitcher?
I watched Japanese baseball when I was in Japan. I remember seeing a pitcher who threw underhand and they were interviewing him and they measured how low he threw the ball. I think it was just a few inches off the ground. I cannot remember who he was, or what team he played for. If anybody has any clue to who he is, please post.

You don't say when you were in Japan watching a game.
Chiba Lotte's Watanabe Shunsuke, who pitched last night against the Korean Samsun Lions, is the only current pitcher who throws centemeters from the ground. In fact, I'd seen him throw some dirt up into the air on a few deliveries during the season. He really gets down low.

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.
