TOKYO (AP) — Tatsuya Imai is likely to be the next Japanese pitcher to move to a Major League team after his club, Seibu Lions, said Monday it would begin the process of making him available — a process called “posting.”
Tatsuya had a record of 10-5 this season with an ERA of 1.92. The right-hander has a powerful fastball and has played his entire career in Japan.
