In this episode, Jesse goes across the Brooklynverse to find a spot that works to podcast about baseball and F1 and all the other stuff… anyway, here’s Kota Yazawa, who is 22 and has pitched two scoreless innings with three strikeouts this season.

Yazawa is blood type A, according to his Hokkaido-Nippon Ham Fighters bio, and his favorite game is grilled meat.

Nevertheless, we hope that he wins all of his grilled meat and keeps hitting bombs and striking batters out.
