Rangers' Yu Darvish has potential to be best Japanese-born player ever

The Rangers executives just laughed. They had just signed one of the best pitchers in the world. While skeptics will be quick to assume Darvish is on the same career path as Dice-K, supporters will be equally as fast to point out some significant differences that suggest greater success in Yu’s future.

Moving into a hitter’s ballpark in the Texas heat will be a tough transition, but Darvish has the tools to succeed. He is younger than Dice-K and has a more prototypical makeup of a starting pitcher. Darvish stands five inches taller than Matsuzaka, and talent evaluators believe his frame can withstand a greater workload.

It displays a good change of speed, 80-83 mph, and a good arm speed certain residues late action. He hit 93 on his fastballs and trying to develop a curve ball. As a batter, swing his left hand is quieter, with better speed bat and greater consistency, while his hands are busy right. It is a way or a little more rider. He listed 6'3 ", 175, and it has all the arms and legs now, so you can really dream on the body.
