Satiel page or however the hell u spell his name, was striking out batters left and right at age 58

[MDFromNC13]

[Koorice]

were those actual games he pitched or were they jus doin it for fun????

[wasabiwild]

@Koorice those arent ordinary professional games you see in japanese pro league but the ones called Masters League and the retired players play in it. i assume they do it for fun and charity and they do it on pretty rare occasion.

[Harimakum]

holy shit

a very nice wind-up position!

[gulf1q2w3e]

台灣一堆年輕投手

歲數差不多他的一半還比他慢



[pentonvilleroad]

damn, nice fastball and perfect fork ball!! u think nolan ryan can still throw like this?

[jesusthroughmary]

Why don't we have this in America? Julio Franco, Barry Bonds, Ken Griffey Jr., Jamie Moyer... oh wait.

[12000gage]

@jesusthroughmary what? lol.

[seaboatsk]

Thank you so much for posting the video.

I used to want Mr. Murata to play in MLB so much. He would have been able to electrify the league and the fans with his fastball, an unorthodox pitching form, and forkball which would dance and drop on the homeplate just like knuckleball.

Of professional baseball players' acing pitches, I love Mr. JR Richard's fastball, Mr. Steve Carlton's slider, and Mr. Choji Mura's forkball best.

[pentonvilleroad]

@seaboatsk i bet he would've in his prime. i guess Hideo Nomo proves why.

[seaboatsk]

@pentonvilleroad I have seen both Nomo and Murata. Murata's fastball is faster and his forkball drops steeper than Nomo's counterparts. Mr. Murata has sometimes and deliverately showed to a hitter at bat that he is going to throw a forkball while winding up.

[makotonokotoka01]

53歳の動きじゃないｗ

マスターズリーグでちゃだめでしょｗ危ない

[GalaxyTrigger82]

thats one of the coolest pitching wind-ups ive ever seen.

[yamasimac]

球速だけじゃなくて体全体を柔らかく使ってねじって投げている・­・・。

ここまで来ると化けモンｄじぇ・・・。

[Adrianrff]

lol @ sounds

[SoftBank47]

Wow, Murata has clearly taken good care of himself, and his arm is still live. His legendary fork is still devastating, too.

[fenderrlee]

Hunto nee!! Hyaku hashide---totemo desu yo!!

[2010mustang1]

[TakumiFujiwara80]

His Forking it's still amazing! i can't believe! I want to be like him when i 'll reach 50!(if i'll reach of course lol)(sorry 4 bad english)

[6896px]

It's a murata-san (the pitcher's name is choji murata) pitching mechanics, he always pitch like that.

[popcorn32145]

[bimbim007]

[hithazel]
