 | Chunichi Starter Named CL's Premier Pitcher Wednesday, July 1st, 2015 Kosaku Sakaguchi took a much-deserved turn in the spotlight earlier today as he accepted the Central League Pitcher of the Month award for June. The 27-year-old Dragons starter is a relative newcomer to the league, but nonetheless racked up an impressive 3-0 won-lost record in 5 starts. This month he fanned 37 batters in 33 innings and compiled a 1.09 ERA. This season Sakaguchi has worked 88.2 innings with 89 strikeouts en route to a 6-1 record and a 2.13 ERA. |   |
