RHP Yomiuri Giants
Togo brings an above-average fastball with a very good splitter and a good slider that helped him lead the Central League in strikeouts for the first time last season. He's a fly-ball pitcher who gets lots of soft contacts. Togo calls his unpredictable cutter a "nanjakora ball" -- after a confection from his native Miyazaki Prefecture that roughly translates as "what the heck is that?"
