Masahiro Tanaka was a spectacular pitcher in Japan and this year he decided to take his skills to Major League Baseball. Expectations have been high for him before he even signed his seven year, 155 million dollar contract. Last season, he had a 24-0 record and a 1.27 ERA, which is magnificent!
Many thought that the Japanese pitcher would need to adjust in order to play his best in the MLB. Now, a quarter of the season has passed and he still has his winning streak in tact. On Wednesday, May 14 he won his 6th game with a shutout over the Mets. He also added his first Major League Baseball hit into the mix.
With an ERA of 2.17, sixty-six strikeouts and seven walks on the season, Tanaka is a complete pitcher who may continue to get even better; Dare I say the best in the world?
