Lets just ignore the fact that he's not used to throwing his changeup in a game yet, and look at the rest of the picture.
Nobody throws such a good off speed which is taught overnight unless with huge talent, whether if its just in the pen or not.
Not to mention he can throw more than one variety of it, and from his grips that worked, he has thrown a circle changeup (the grip with the ok sign), a palmball(the one which does not slow as much), and a Vulcan changeup (the one hold between his middle finger and ring finger), and a straight change (the one gripped with all 5 fingers around the ball) that's 4 variations which could work, when people usually take loads of time to master just 1 type.
Not to mention he can alter his pitches velocity and break without any form change at all, in scouting reports that would mean his pitches have extremely high deception, hitters cannot determine the pitch thrown by observing his form, nor can they see his grip, making all his pitches goes up a notch in effectiveness.
good command with the fastball, a cut fastball, and off speed with deception, cant say furuya is the better pitcher now.
Ok maybe I'm a bigger baseball nerd than most people around, but really, I'm excited man, I'm excited.
he definitely has a lot of potential, but he can't control his emotions and makes a ton of mistakes because of that.
