    Default 18-year-old Japanese pitcher drawing interest

    Last year it was Yu Darvish, this year you should get to know the name Shohei Otani.

    Otani is an 18-year-old fireballer who can already get it up to 100 miles per hour, pretty impressive stuff.

    He's not going into the Japanese pro draft so it shouldn't cost yu darvish coin to get him. I just read about this kid the other day. Can u imagine being 18, in highschool and throwing 100+mph? Unreal, wait until he grows up!

    Chances are someone over there owns his rights.

    The cost to get these imports is way more than they're worth IMO. I'd rather just focus resources on scouting and player development. Unless of course you're a team with a massive market that makes endless bundles of cash.
