NY Yankees in Japan to Scout RHP Masahiro Tanaka

That prompts me to do an OIP evaluation of his mechanics. Good news is that he's 24 and has a live arm...the bad news is his pitching mechanics. He's almost all arm. Masahiro is a future candidate for heavy scar tissue build up in his rotator group.

Leg Extension: -10
Hip Rotation: -15
Follow Through: -12
Reduces Rotary Inertia: -10

OIP: 47%
