2020 Fantasy Outlook
Arihara is younger at age 27 than most players moving from Japan to MLB, but he's also not as established. He had a career season in 2019 going 15-8 with a 2.46 ERA and 8.8 K/9 for Nippon Ham. He features a low-90s fastball, but has four off-speed pitches (slider, changeup, splitter, cutter), with his changeup and splitter seen as plus offerings. His lower velocity may limit his upside in the majors, but he could get a chance to win a spot in a MLB rotation. He's asked his NPB team to post him to MLB, but it's not clear if the the Nippon Ham will follow through with his request for the 2020 season.
