Kershaw, that great slider, and of course that curveball.
So with Otani, you're right.
It's not like a signature pitch.
It's not like Dice came to the gyro ball.
It's kind of like everything is above average, but he throws smoke.
I mean, his four-seamer can hit 99, so that's pretty good.
I love his splitter.
Most Japanese pitchers are very good at throwing splitters, and he'll occasionally work in that changeup.
So the answer is, just as a hitter, it's all of the above.
He does everything above average, but particularly it's his fastball.
When he blows it by you, forget about it, and I love his splitter.
If someone said to him, Shohei, you can only throw two pitches rather than four or five, and he was just a fastball splitter guy, it'd be like Doc Gooden.
Like Doc Gooden used to do.
He was a guy on the fastball curve and that's it.
If he said, Otani, fastball splitter, he would still be an unbelievable pitcher, I think, if you only gave him those two pitches.
I love how this is going.
Mike makes a point, then Jay follows it up.
This is actually very entertaining, the duality of the combo.
But you guys are absolutely right.
To me, it's his size.
