Anthony Kay Talks Baseball Journey and Munetaka Murakamis Massive Power | The White Sox Podcast [LIplmtj3rIi]
Chuck Garfien’s Spring Training Podcast-pa-looza continues with a sit-down featuring White Sox left-hander Anthony Kay, who signed with the club in December after two standout seasons in Japan. Kay reflects on his time overseas, including memorable matchups against fellow White Sox newcomer Munetaka Murakami, and shares what it was like competing against him. Kay walks Chuck through his baseball journey and how it closely resembles Erick Fedde’s journey, while also explaining the style of pitcher he became in Japan and how that experience should translate this season. He opens up about adjusting back to the 5-man rotation, offers Chuck a quick Japanese language lesson, reacts to Murakami calling him “nasty,” and gives his early impressions of what kind of player Sox fans can expect Murakami to be. 00:00 Intro 1:30 Anthony Kay Joins the Show 4:00 Has Kay reached out to Erick Fedde? 4:29 What kind of pitcher was Kay in Japan? 6:13 Process of how Kay ended up with Sox 6:50 What kind of hitter is Munetaka Murakami 8:50 How is Kay’s Japanese? 9:51 Murakami on Kay 12:36 What is the first start going to mean? 13:05 What has Kay learned from Brian Bannister 13:42 Showing former teams what their missing out on 14:33 What is the hitting like in Japan? 16:03 outro #whitesox #japan #npb #mlb ✅: 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 - 📱: 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗽𝗽 ▪️ 🖥️ : 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝘀𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 ▪️ 📱: 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀 ▪️ Find us on Instagram: ▪️ Like on Facebook: ▪️ Follow on X: ▪️ Follow on TikTok:
