This honor would be an impressive sign for the Chicago Cubs ace in his first season.
The left-handed pitcher from Japan signed a four-year, $53 million contract with the Cubs during the offseason. In his first six starts in America, he's been as good as advertised. Imanaga, frankly, has been much better than anyone could've hoped for.
Stepping up in a massive way, Imanaga is 5-0 and owns an ERA of 0.78. His 0.75 WHIP and 35 strikeouts in 34 2/3 innings pitched have also been an encouraging sign. Perhaps the most promising sign for Imanaga has been his ability to keep the ball in the yard and limit walks. He's allowed just four walks.
