Shōta Imanaga does not have a secret identity or an alter-ego. He is just an extraordinary pitcher rifling right through his first month as a Major League Baseball player. He’s also proven to be the best free agency signing for the Chicago Cubs this past offseason.
Imanaga spun another gem against the New York Mets on Wednesday night, and we’re all running out of things to say about him. Seven more scoreless innings, seven more strikeouts, and another win in the books made Imanaga’s first trip to New York memorable.
