NPB starting pitchers announced for Apr 28 #npb
Eagles take the lead in Chiba! A timely from Asamura followed up by the bases-clearing hit off the wall from Shimauchi has the Eagles ahead 3-1!
I will always stan Tomoya Mori and Takumi Ohshiro. There seems to be the misconception in NPB that a good hitting backstop *must* be a bad defender. Or they’re not looking at the right things to evaluate catcher defense.
I believe Ohshiro is eligible for free agency at the end of the year. Unless the Giants give him the playing time he deserves, he should leave.
Also he came out of the game and they immediately gave up a run. If it was the other way around all the Ohshiro haters would say it’s his fault for being a bad caller. What’s Kobayashi’s excuse if he hits below .100 at the plate and isn’t flawless defensively? No accountability.
Takumi Ohshiro getting replaced by Seiji Kobayashi in the 7th inning confirms that Shinnosuke Abe views Kobayashi as a superior defender over Ohshiro. Reminder that Ohshiro had +20 DRS last year, threw out 37% of runners, and was a top 3 framer in NPB (data from SIS & Delta).
The Livan Moinelo vs. Tatsuya Imai duel lived up to the billing 👀 Moinelo 7.0 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 5 K, 11 Whiffs Imai 7.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, 15 Whiffs
Koji Chikamoto flips the score with a 2-run shot, his 3rd of the year!
CC Mercedes doesn’t have overpowering stuff but he’s been mowing down lineups so far this year. He looks more comfortable now in year 2 with Lotte.
Yuudai Yamamoto throws out runners with ease. He’s gunned 52% of potential base stealers since the start of 2023. @sis_baseball had him at +16 DRS in just 489 innings behind the plate last season.
