Mets To Sign Japanese Teenager
By Mike Axisa [September 4 at 9:09pm CST]
Patrick at the great NPB Tracker passes along a report from the Japanese
publication ChuSpo, which says that the Mets have agreed to sign Japanese
teenager Taiki Kawasaki. The lefthanded hurler stands 6'1", 170 lbs, and
reportedly throws a high-80's fastball, as well as a slider and curve. He'll
receive a minor league contract.

The 17-yr old native of Osaka left Japan after high school in hopes of
signing with a Major League franchise, and has been training at Julio
Franco's academy in Florida. Patrick says that Franco will reportedly travel
to Japan in the middle of next month to officially announce the signing.

繼田澤後我想為讓日本職棒抓狂的事，魔掌已經伸到17歲
