Chicago Cubs pitcher Shota Imanaga introduced himself to Cubs nation by saying," GO CUBS GO" and saying how much he is honored and excited to pitch at Wrigley Field.
"I am very happy to be here and to be a Cub," Imanaga said. "I want to say thank you to the entire Cubs organization for having me. I am very excited to pitch at Wrigley Field. I am looking forward to fans and teammates. Go Cubs go!"
"One of the things that resonated was they said they believe in my potential and do what I do best," Imanaga said through the translater. "But at the same time, I realized that there's a lot of room for me to grow, and I really look forward to talking to the Cubs' pitching coaches and my teammates and trying to reach that potential to get us closer to that as I can."
He signed a four-year, $53 million contract with the Cubs this week.
