The veteran right-hander, who turns 35 on Oct. 11, has been one of the best pitchers in Japan over his 12-season career in NPB. And after an injury-plagued season in 2023, Sugano is having a resurgent season for the Giants in 2024.

 

Sugano is 15-3 with a 1.67 ERA and 111 strikeouts in 24 starts this season, leading the league in wins and ranking second in ERA. He's also led the Giants back to the playoffs -- Yomiuri finished in first place in the Central League, with the NPB postseason set to begin next weekend.

 

Even in his mid-30s, Sugano still has solid stuff, and a diverse pitch arsenal. He throws both a four-seamer and sinker, with his fastball averaging around 92 mph, as well as a low-80s slider, high-80s cutter, high-70s curveball and the wipeout, upper-80s splitter that is a signature of many Japanese aces.
