Goes hard, ngl
this should be his official team portrait
Is Sugano attacking an American flag? (Heyman)
Gonna do the sword celebration with an actual sword
This sounds like an AI prompt.
This is cool!
I’m sold. Build a statue for him already
Fuck, looks like they got a winner
There is no stronger bond than the United States and South East Asian countries we fought a war against.
i am a fan already
“Forgive me master. I must go all out, just this once.”
You’re all so cooked
Suganoseeee
AI says that watch he is wearing is almost $400K. Straight baller.
“While you were partying, I studied the blade.”
New Orioles pitcher? That is a 38-year-old accountant from 1981…
Also a ridiculous Richard Mille watch 🔥🔥🔥
Can someone please set up this pic so “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” plays when I click on it? Please and thank you.
AL east is officially cooked Sugano cy young season incoming
guys will see this and say hell yeah
Statue just designed itself
You can’t convince me this isn’t the box art of a straight to VHS action movie from the 80s
Spent his bitcoin on that watch.
“MLB hitters will feel like they’re swinging with this samurai sword when they try to hit my pitches”
Gives new meaning to “cutter”
Shit, now I know this guy is going to destroy the AL East
and folks on here are whining and crying and melting down about the Os. This guy is gonna carve up the league
This portrait SLAPS, we are united in this, right?
Has great stats and “pin-point accuracy” for his ground ball pitching style, but lacks velocity and is already 35. Very curious how he translates to MLB.
civilization cultural victory screen
Dig that watch
I… Wonder if they are fans of the cheesy, 80s, action movie series American Ninja? Cause this is very like some of that series’ promo material.

Is it racist to say that he looks like he could be Shota Imanaga’s dad…
Oh My God
New MLB The Show cover?
The only way this could be better is if the Maryland flag was in the background instead
