The regular season isn’t complete, and the postseason looms, but the Milwaukee Brewers are looking ahead as successful teams must. They are among the teams that went to see Japanese pitcher Yusei Kikuchi of the Seibu Lions, as per this tweet from Jim Allen:
Scouts from Yankees, SF Giants, Red Sox, Dodgers, Phillies, Brewers and Rangers were in hand to watch #SeibuLions lefty Yusei Kikuchi—who is expected to be posted this winter.

Kikuchi is a left handed starter for the Lions and has broken out in his last two seasons.
