I love that pitch. It keeps the balls in the yard and sets up the fastball for location. Jack Morris comes to mind when you talk splitter, who else had a great one?
 
...Clemens had a very good one too...the thing that will make it so tough on batters is that all 3 of Tanaka's pitches seem to have the same motion and arm slot.
 
love the emotion on the k in the final video...ala joba before the yanks fucked him up
 
I can see Longoria & Big Sloppi getting mucho bench time when this guy is on the mound, little bit of attitude, Tanaka & McCann will be a great battery.
