Nats sign a Starting Pitcher! (It's not who you think!)
Briefly

The Washington Nationals signed pitcher Shinnosuke Ogasawara on a two-year deal, although the investment is expected to be modest. While Ogasawara doesn’t have a high strikeout rate, his ability to avoid walks is a plus. However, his home run rate is a concern, as it’s higher than the Japanese average, raising doubts about his potential impact in Major League Baseball. The signing seems to align with the team's strategy of acquiring intriguing players for their current rebuilding phase, aiming for depth in their rotation filled with younger and injury-prone pitchers.
The Nats signed Shinnosuke Ogasawara for a two-year deal, which seems like a low-risk move amid a season focused on rebuilding.
Ogasawara doesn't walk hitters but has a concerning home run rate compared to his peers, indicating potential issues in the majors.
