Not a bad outing. Two IP and 4 Ks, including two against foreign sluggers.
4 IP, 4Ks, 1 R.
The first two innings he induced a ton of grounders. Second two, he struck out four.

He looks even more dominant than when he was in Taiwan. I guess we have to wait until spring training is over to have a good gauge.

Rumored to be 3-year 1.7M USD.

Shud be shohei money or go home…
Giving up that 3-run homerun is the real problem. The umpire calls being inconsistent and the Ham-fighter defense in disarray was what made the first inning so rough.
Gulin’s right shoulder has this tiny shrug before a breaking ball probably also didn’t help.
Yikes. I thought he fixed that problem.

He gave up mostly fly balls. That’s bound to happen.
