My Take
I have a soft spot for relievers who just rear back and throw gas, and Yuki Udagawa is exactly that kind of arm. He's an Orix Buffaloes guy out of Koshigaya, Saitama, born in '98, and there's something fun about a pitcher who came up through the developmental ranks and forced his way into a real bullpen role. He stands 184 cm and came in through the 2020 developmental draft, and honestly the splitter and the fastball do the talking for him. He strikes me as the no-frills, head-down, attack-the-zone type rather than a showman, and that's catnip for me. I'll happily keep watching where this one goes.
