今永昇太

Japanese left-hand pitcher Shōta Imanaga wowed not just the Chicago Cubs fanbase, but the Baseball world on Monday. The 30-year-old’s MLB debut was worth the price of admission, tossing six scoreless frames with nine punchouts and no walks en route to his first career win. Imanaga’s stuff was electric, shutting out the visiting Colorado Rockies in the 5-0 triumph. He became only the second hurler since at least 1901 to pitch such an outing in his big-league debut.
