Watching foreign players in Japan and how they try to get support from the fans, essentially I'm just doing the opposite of that, coming over here. It was something I thought about.
Relying on a deceptive four-seam fastball and a splitter, Imanaga boasts a 5-0 record with a 0.84 ERA, 58 strikeouts, and 9 walks, positioning himself as a standout player for the Cubs.
Imanaga holds the lowest ERA for a major leaguer in his first nine starts since 1913, outperforming renowned pitchers like Fernando Valenzuela, Jacob DeGrom, and Zack Greinke.
Imanaga's exceptional performance has exceeded expectations, impressing Cubs' president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer with his thoughtful approach and potential for further refinement.
