Japanese right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano will be signing with an MLB team as an international free agent this winter, according to sources. Sugano, who turns 35 in a week, posted a tidy 1.67 ERA over 24 starts for the Central League champion Yomiuri Giants in Nippon Professional Baseball this year. He has won the Sawamura Award -- the equivalent of the Cy Young -- two times and has also been named the Central League MVP twice and is a four-time ERA champion. Sugano features a diverse six-pitch mix that features a four-seam fastball, two-seamer, slider, cutter, splitter and changeup. What he lacks in velocity he has made up for in command and pitchability. Over his 156 2/3 innings in 2024, Sugano walked only 16 batters and gave up six home runs while striking out 111. He spent a dozen seasons with the Giants, going 136-75.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
