New York Mets: Is There a Difference Between Sugano and Tanaka?
The New York Mets have a big decision to make on Japanese pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano by Thursday. If Sugano selects their offer, he will become a new member of their starting rotation. There are plenty of similarities between Sugano and Masahiro Tanaka, but their small difference could make or break any deal.
Great video here showing the command and array of pitches from Tomoyuki Sugano.
Career 2.34 ERA in Japan and has never walked more than 2.1 BB/9.
Deadline to sign with MLB team is January 7th and Mets are one of the teams in the mix.
