Shintaro Fujinami Biography

Shintaro Fujinami is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Pitcher who was born on April 12, 1994 in Minami Ward, Japan.

Shintaro Fujinami (藤浪 晋太郎 , Fujinami Shintarō, born April 12, 1994) is a Japanese baseball pitcher who plays for Hanshin Tigers of Nippon Professional Baseball’s Central League. He was born in Sakai, Osaka, Japan.

Fujinami pitched his first career complete game in a July 15 contest against the Dragons with a 13-strikeout effort and only a single run allowed. During a September 15 game against the Carp at Koshien, he hit 157 km/h (98 mph) on the radar gun and set a new personal high and tied the franchise high for velocity. Tomoyuki Kubota set the original record on June 21, 2005. Four days later, he earned his 10th victory of the season and became the first pitcher out of high school to record double-digit wins in his first two NPB seasons since Daisuke Matsuzaka in 1999–2000 (16 and 14 wins). The last pitcher to accomplish the feat in the Central League (and in franchise history) was Yutaka Enatsu in 1967–1968 (12 and 25 wins). In the same game, he recorded his sixth RBI of the season, tying Tetsuro Kawajiri’s 1996 record of RBIs by a Hanshin pitcher.
