Damn, 103 pitches is considered a "side session"? Banzai! :icon_supe

Yeah, and people are saying he'll have trouble adjusting from the 6-man rotations used in Japan. Considering he's strong enough to throw 100+ pitches in one of his first side-sessions, I'm not worried.

His first game is bound to be the most anticipated pitching debut since Syd Finch.

In this morning's ProJo, I think I read something that said in Japan he was used to throwing THREE HUNDRED PITCH side sessions?!? WTF?

I would assume to get a "tired arm" and then build up the strength and stamina going forward

Maybe this is what they need to do for Paps.
