Heads-up Nationals fans. Our @BrandonTeweets did the most comprehensive scouting report on Ogasawara that's out there.
Watched every start from last couple years!

The Nationals have signed Shinnosuke Ogasawara on a two-year contract. Ogasawara, 27, was a NPB All-Star in 2023 and pitched in nine seasons for the Chunichi Dragons of the the Nippon Professional Baseball Organization.

Jurickson Profar's defense in left field the last 2 seasons has not been great, stats-wise
-19 Runs Saved in that time. Only player faring worse: Kyle Schwarber (-20)
