Kroon's fastball can get up to 156. Witt has a chance to be very good if he can adjust.

I hope that Witt will do good. Maybe he will hit a lot of home runs, but who knows. Who should bat in the 4th spot? My money is on Tamura.
About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

Here are Kevin Witts' stats according to Baseball Reference: [Link]
and here's Mark Kroons': [Link]
Kroon is said to have a 150+ kph fastball, and is expected to fill in relief.
Apparently both were signed to a one year contract worth $400K, or 42 million yen.
