Masashi Takasu   Starting Pitcher | Ottawa Milk Men Pitching Takasu's bread-and-butter pitch is a hard, two-seam fastball that rides in on righthanders' fists. Takasu has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. Takasu also has a decent changeup. The Ottawa Milk Men 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. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties. Defense & Hitting Takasu does an average job of holding runners. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Takasu is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Takasu has some pop in his swing. 2025 Outlook I really like what this guy brings to the table.           -- Moostard Nyman
