    Edwin did a phenomenal job! This might be the absolute worst situation to try and be a japanese translator 🤣🤣🤣

      Edwin crushed it. Would be easy to get behind the energy of Pat and just kinda have fun with it, but it's his job to let Shota know the question in the best way and translate Shota's answer as accurately as possible. Getting too wild would detract from the interview. It's not about Edwin, and he was incredibly professional without being stiff.

    It was really cool that Pat slowed down his question a little bit after Shota mentioned that, and Shota motioned that he got it. Behind all the energy, there is a good interviewer in Pat!!!

    Edwin's translation skills are quite good. Pays attention to details and doesn't really cut out particular parts of the conversation like I've seen other translators do. He's a Cy Young of translators.

    The thing I like most about Japanese pitchers is that they have a better variation of pitches than American/South American pitchers, who imo just throw splitters if not a fastball towards the corners.
    I'm glad Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shota Imanaga are finding success in the MLB this early on

    Edwin is doing a great job interpreting. (Yup, I speak Japanese and currently live in Japan.) The interpreter isn't leaving anything out of substance, although effective interpreting is never a word-for-word rendering, otherwise it would sound odd and clunky.
