RHP Orix Buffaloes
Yamazaki's path to the Japan national team has been a bumpy one. The young right-hander with an electric fastball, backed up by a useful splitter, curve and slider, has come back from Tommy John surgery. His stuff and command have been inconsistent, but when he's on, he's dynamite. Yamazaki was added to the roster after closer Ryoji Kuribayashi was sidelined by injury.
