It was announced that Seibu Lions reliever Kazuhisa Makita requested to be posted this off season. Makita doesn’t have Shohei Ohtani‘s youth or skill with the bat, but he could help the Milwaukee Brewers build a bridge to closer Corey Knebel.
Who is Kazuhisa Makita?
He’s a 33-year old right-hander who is essentially the Japanese Chad Bradford. He throws side-arm from an arm slot that’s way south of his belt. This is Makita in the 2014 Japan All-Star Series…
He’s not going to light up a radar gun.
