Chouji Iizuka
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. The Free Agents hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Iizuka's move to first base is average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Iizuka is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Iizuka has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Iizuka to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Iizuka.
