Meet The Greatest Pitcher You Never Heard Of

[@showtimenick824]

If Sawamura pitched in the Major Leagues, would he have dominated? I think most certainly yes when considering what he was able to do against the best of the best as a 17-year old. If only he didn't have to go to war so he could've had a much longer career.

Very interesting history lesson. Love it

What a fascinating story! How tragic that he only got to live 27 years though.

[@Megatron02413]

Imagine facing those 4 as a 17 year old kid.. and then striking them out.. sheeeeeeesh

3 no-hitters in just 5 years, wow!

[@showtimenick824]

Seriously!

[@dixiecuddlesfitness]

Imagine what Sawamura would've been if he didn't have to be in and out of war.

[@showtimenick824]

Right?

[@ayaatm4168]

It must've been hard to find any data on his pitch speeds right? Since this guy pitched in the 30s and 40s.

[@showtimenick824]

Absolutely. I did the best I can.

[@rosalinda5549]

The Giants were Hideki Matsui's team in Japan right?

[@showtimenick824]

Correct

[@FreeSearch-cw9vr]

I like Lebron James

Cool story!
