He's six foot five with a 95mph fastball and he's... Japanese? Well, half-
Japaese, at least. Darvish, the Japanese/Iranian wunderkind who's half
baseball star and half sex symbol, is Japan's best young pitcher, and his
upside is high enough that more than one team felt comfortable giving him
a $60M contract, and that's only after spending another $50M for the right to
even speak to him in the first place.
MLB players who've faced him or played beside him call him one of the best
pitchers they've ever seen. His most recent manager calls him 'the best
pitcher in the history of Japanese baseball.' And ex-manager Trey Hillman has
said that if it was possible, Darvish would be worth 'the rosters of a couple
of major league teams' in a fair-value trade. (Then again, Hillman also said
that Darvish's rock star cool was like 'Fonzie and Elvis, both at the same
time.' so maybe he was having a little too much Sapporo.)
