How Japan Fixed Anthony Kay’s Game: Sinkers, Timing & Ground Balls | The Baseball Insiders [VPoSTyo27jl]
Former first-round pick Anthony Kay joins Robert Murray to talk about life and baseball in Japan, why a two-seam/sinker unlocked his game, how he rebuilt his starter profile, and what he’s looking for as a free agent returning to MLB. We also get into culture shock (hello, beef tongue), pitch design, ground-ball strategy, and what he learned by studying teammates overseas. #TheBaseballInsiders #MLB #AnthonyKay #NPB #Baseball #Pitching #TwoSeam #Sinker #FreeAgency #Yokohama #GroundBallPitcher #TorontoBlueJays #PitchDesign #Arsenal #RobertMurray #FanSided Don't miss a video!
