Hi everyone! I'm FayBoy. I'm just an ordinary person on Twitter who loves technology, enjoys playing fun games like Minecraft or Hytale, and watching baseball.
Next year, Shohei Ohtani is going to have the best regular season by one player of all time. And I pray for a fully healthy season and enjoyment for him.

Shohei Ohtani, through an interpreter on the MVP conference call: "I do plan on being able to pitch off mound from the beginning of the season...The biggest thing is to be able to stay healthy throughout the season and hopefully be able to start and end the season on the mound."
Shohei Ohtani (LAD) pitched another gem, throwing six scoreless innings and striking out six vs the Diamondbacks. This dropped his already low ERA even further, down to 0.74 across 61 innings!
@7filterugh And also, he's throwing splitter & sinker with one-seam orientation (you can see the way ball is moving in statcast) and his splitter break horizontally due to seam-shifted wake magic.
We know he's not that great control with sinker, but for now let's see how it goes
@7filterugh The key is the arm angle, if he's throwing splitter at lower arm angle (30 degree), it'd be hard to control. It's one of reason why Shohei's splitter is the best in 2021 and 2018 because he was pitching at 45 degree.
@7filterugh he has the same pace as he had back in 2022.
The only difference is he had a lot of HQS (7 IP+ with less than equal to 2 earned runs) back in 2022
How's Shohei doing of the last 3 starts sum up in a sentence:
"Shohei struggles with command, having frustrated on the mound, as he goes 6 innings of no-hit ball"
