My Take
At 189cm Arihara throws downhill the way few Japanese starters can. Out of Waseda he was a first-round pick, Rookie of the Year immediately, later a league wins leader. Then Texas, and it did not go his way. What I respect is what came after: SoftBank, and now back in a Nippon-Ham uniform, rebuilding the pitcher each time instead of coasting.
