Comparing Kenta Maeda To Hiroki Kuroda

Dodger’s Japanese import Kenta Maeda has already been impressing everyone in Dodger camp these days. Maeda recently threw a bullpen session and was quite effective, mixing his pitches and looking very sharp. Maeda threw four pitches (fastball, curve, changeup and slider) topping out at around 94-95 mph. Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal interestingly compared Maeda to former Dodger co-ace and traitor Zack Greinke.

However I would like to compare Maeda to a different former Dodger. You could compare Maeda to former Dodger and fellow former Hiroshima Carp right hander Hiroki Kuroda.
