Bujirou Ibayashi   Relief Pitcher | Val d'Or Sharks Pitching Ibayashi's control is among the best in the game. He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He traditionally fares better against lefties. Defense & Hitting He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Ibayashi is nothing special in the field. Ibayashi is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Ibayashi has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Val d'Or Sharks have been known to use Ibayashi as a pinch-runner on occasion. 2025 Outlook The Val d'Or Sharks signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Ibayashi like a hot potato if something better comes along.           -- Ska Nyman, A-Ball Scout
