His catcher is a teenager. His fastball AVERAGED 99.5 MPH. If he did this in MLB, he'd have the greatest pitched game in history per Bill James' "Game Score" metric (currently belongs to Kerry Wood in his 20 K game). All of this is just nuts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had struck out just 10 I'd be impressed. Lol. Both the 19 and 13 figures listed in the OP are NPB records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 This was also the first NPB perfect game since 1994. Nutty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
