The American right-hander was a second-round MLB draft pick by Milwaukee in 2015 and pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2020 and 2021 before moving to Japan. 2024, the season on this card, was his only year with Rakuten. He went on to win the 2025 KBO MVP with Hanwha, going 17-1 with a 1.89 ERA and a league-record 252 strikeouts, then signed with Toronto. This is his base card in the 2024 Topps 206 NPB checklist. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- ========== 5.
