Part 4/8:
While Ogasawara’s fastball sits in the high 80s to low 90s, his changeup and slider have demonstrated above-average potential. He's reliant on command; in recent years, his strikeout rate has dipped, which might affect his opportunities in the big leagues. If MLB teams are willing to take a chance on Ogasawara, they may look to enhance his fastball and optimize his breaking ball usage. He provides an intriguing option as a back-end rotation arm with upside if proper adjustments are made.
