“With an eight-pitch arsenal, Daisuke has been a hit in the U.S. since joining Boston in 2007. Prior to Game 5 of the 2008 ALCS, he’d gone 25 consecutive postseason innings without allowing a home run.”
Dice-K’s pitching tanked after leading Team Japan to victory during the World Baseball Classic earlier this year. He pitched a 3-0 record and 2.45 ERA during the Classic, but only went 4-6 with a 5.76 ERA in the full season that followed.
