[Bleacher Nation] Naoyuki Uwasawa is Coming to MLB This Offseason and Cubs Have Reportedly Scouted Him

I would hope that they spend a lot of energy scouting many international players.
30yrs old, really good walk rate and really meh strikeout rate. He doesn’t throw hard, he’s not expected to cost a ton, and his comparables haven’t done well in their time in MLB (Arihara, Tex, not good in 2021-2022).
Not sure I love it beyond depth and in general the parallel planning.
