Muda Takamura Kami.
It is...
It was so fascinating to be there and to really observe it.
At one point, it was Jesse Rogers and I. We were watching him take ground balls around first base and working with Phil Nevin.
And they were kind of working on with him with his hips and stuff, but like the mechanics of all that.
But...
Just seeing, like, because his translator was there and seeing in real time, in a sense, how that is, how they are communicating, kind of figuring it out.
One of the players described him as a freakish athlete.
So when he was, like, taking live VP, it was so, it was, like, for me, cool to see all the players just, like, it's like a unicorn.
He's like, like, what kind of player did we just get?
Obviously, having him on the team brings a different level of buzz and excitement.
Because back home in Japan, when I talked to some of the Japan media members, like,
He is a superstar, such a prolific hitter, one of the best to come out of Japan, holds the record for single season and home runs, I think 56 home runs in one year.
So for them to get a player like this, because you typically, from Japan, you see more so, I think, pitchers that come out of there.
And for the Sox to get a slugger like this, really interested to see how his season, how he translates here to the MLB.
But when I talked to Ryan Fuller,
He was saying like back in Japan, they see a ton of like splitters.
So here in the MLB, you're going to be seeing multiple different pitches.
Velocity plays a role into that, too.
So I asked him, like, what are you guys doing to prepare him for that?
