"One of the big questions around Kazuma Okamoto coming to MLB was how he'd handle velocity. He's hitting the s*** out of it."
"Okamoto has barreled 22.2% of the balls he has hit, which puts him in the 91st percentile."
"He's got two home runs. One that went 107.7 mph off the bat to straight away center field. The other went 110.4 mph to the opposite field."
"The one issue right now may be his strike out to walk ratio. He's K'd nine times compared to three walks."
Kazuma Okamoto is performing impressively in his first week with the Toronto Blue Jays, hitting well and demonstrating power. He has two home runs and a high barrel rate of 22.2%, placing him in the 91st percentile. Okamoto, a former star in Nippon Professional Baseball, has a strong track record, including six seasons with over 30 home runs. Despite concerns about adjusting to the velocity of MLB pitchers, he is currently making them adjust to his hitting. However, he has a high strikeout rate with nine strikeouts compared to three walks.
