My Take
Born in Miyakonojo, Miyazaki, Yuya Yanagi pitched at Yokohama High School, then captained Meiji University to the 2016 Meiji Jingu Tournament title before joining the Chunichi Dragons. The resume reads like a serious, unglamorous man, and that is roughly how he pitches. What strikes me every season is the distance between how he throws and what the record says. Support has often been thin, so strong outings turn into losses and his win-loss line misrepresents the innings behind it. Pitcher wins were never one man's statistic, yet that is what the public judges him by. He keeps taking the ball near the front of the rotation anyway.
