Shota Imanaga has been lights out for the Chicago Cubs this season, as the Japanese lefty has achieved something MLB hasn't seen from a rookie since 1945.
Left-handed pitcher Shota Imanaga is set to take the mound for the fifth time this season on Friday. Through four MLB starts, he is 3-0 with a 0.84 ERA, 0.750 WHIP, 21 strikeouts and a 0.9 WAR., Imanaga is one of two players with a 4-0 team record, 20-plus strikeouts and a sub-1.00 ERA through their first four career MLB games, since earned runs became official in 1913. Boo Ferriss was the last to achieve the feat, doing so with the Red Sox in 1945.
In 24 appearances for the BayStars last season, Imanaga went 7-5 with a 2.66 ERA, 1.019 WHIP and 10.6 strikeouts per nine innings. Imanaga went 74-55 with a 2.96 ERA, 1.076 WHIP and 9.4 strikeouts per nine innings over the course of his eight years in NPB. It appears as if Imanaga has been able to translate that production stateside, and he will have a chance to continue his hot streak Friday night at Fenway Park. First pitch between the Cubs and Red Sox is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET.
Imanaga will be facing off against right-hander Kutter Crawford, who is 1-0 with a 0.66 ERA and 30 strikeouts on the season.Shohei Ohtani Not Currently Facing Discipline From Major League Baseball, Per ReportLos Angeles Dodgers Superstar Mookie Betts Hits MLB's 1st Home Run of 2024
