The Chunichi Dragons of Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan plan on posting left-hander Shinnosuke Ogasawara this offseason. It will be the first time that the Dragons have allowed a player to move to the U.S. since Akinori Otsuka in 2003. The Dragons selected Ogasawara as their first pick back in 2016 out of Tokai University Sagami High School. He became the youngest opening pitcher in Chunichi's history in 2018 and won double-digit games for the first time in 2022. Ogasawara went 5-11 in 2024 with a 3.12 ERA in 144 1/3 innings pitched. The 27-year-old southpaw has impeccable control (3.7 percent walk rate this year), but he also didn't miss many bats at all (13.6 percent strikeout rate), which could become a much bigger issue in the big leagues in the States.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
