Ogasawara prep has started and… he throws strikes that’s a positive!
Most interesting thing to me is he has a harder slider/cutter at 84 mph that is not really tracked by places.
Maybe he should throw that more with his 70s sweeper.

Intriguing trade for Cubs with Eli Morgan. Can’t confirm and wish I had better looks at the grips.
He almost soft splits into a vulcan change. Also have seen a more traditional circle change grip with width across the ball.
It’s a nasty pitch that the Cubs should encourage high usage of.
