As of 12:34 p.m. Central time Tuesday, Yu Darvish had 1,734,130 followers on Twitter, a number that had climbed by a relatively small number from the time he made his third spring start Monday night.
The Texas Rangers’ right-handed ace keeps his fans in mind, too, frequently tweeting updates or sending out photos via the Instagram account linked to his @faridyu Twitter account.
He’s been slacking off on Facebook, though, with only 203,973 people liking his official page and with only a handful of updates since spring training started.
