Tomoyuki Sugano, a right-handed pitcher from Japan, has signed a one-year, $13 million deal with the Baltimore Orioles, marking his transition to Major League Baseball. At 35, Sugano aims to replicate his impressive performance in Japan, where he recently had a stellar season with a 1.67 ERA.

Having previously pitched against the U.S. in the World Baseball Classic, he is eager to contribute to the Orioles' success. Sugano looks forward to collaborating with All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman and is optimistic about his role in Baltimore's rotation.
