Jason Standridge may have just begun to be recognized by Japanese baseball for his work on the mound, but he's been building toward his success this season for a while now.
Last season, the Hanshin Tigers hurler put together a solid campaign finishing 11-5 with a 3.49 ERA. This year, he's put it all together and is having an even better season.
"Honestly, our (pitching) staff has been really good," Standridge said. "We've really had a good staff. This year, for some reason, I've put some stuff together. God has really blessed me with some success this year."
