Hardest Throwing Pitchers
I was watching the Japan-U.S. game today and couldn't help but notice the softer throwing Japanese pitchers. Are there any pitchers that regularly throw in the mid-90's? I thought there was a reliever on Yakult who could flirt with 150km, but maybe I'm mistaken.

Daisuke Matsuzaka hit 100 MPH in Athens. It's Spring Training. Don't put too much stock into gun readings this time of year. Brad Lidge was throwing 93 on his fastball. Johan Santana was throwing 88-90 today.
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.
