Not really… looked like a curveball down and away. Probably catches the bottom corner of the zone, sure, but still a decently located pitch. Not easy to take that 400ft to dead center!

That looked like easy power. 420+ to dead centre. Unless it’s discovered that he has an easily exploitable hole in his swing like how some guys can’t hit high fastballs, I expect 30 bombs.
(楽々パワーに見えた。センターに420フィート超え。よっぽど分かりやすい弱点(高め速球が打てないとか)が見つからなければ、30本は行くと思う)

It remains to be seen if he can hit the serious gas of MLB pitchers, but he’s been as consistent as can be at hitting everything else. I expect big things.

It’s the velocity that often is the determining factor for Japanese hitters.
Okamato rates out reasonably well and better than the other imports on that measure. Although possible its still a weak point.

Hard to take much from spring training but if there’s any time to do it it’s when you see a guy crush a pretty good offspeed pitch in a 1-2 count dead center.
Most homers seem like fastballs right down the middle as pitchers are just stretching their arms out but this is not that.
Like we know Murakami can hit fastballs so him crushing one right down the middle doesn’t answer much but being able to hit this out is more impressive imo
(春季キャンプは話半分だけど、それでも「不利カウント1-2から、ちゃんとした変化球を粉砕してセンターへ」って場面は価値がある。
キャンプのHRって、投手が調整中のど真ん中速球が多いけど、これは違う。
村上がど真ん中速球を打っても「まあ打てるよね」だけど、こういう球を放り込むのはもっと評価できる)
↳ Chief_White_Halfoat
The question with Japanese hitters from what I’ve read and the data on it, is can they hit velocity.
That’s not something they see so often in Japan, pitchers regularly pumping 95+.
Okamato rates decently on that so he projects reasonably well. It’s got the largest correlation with success in coming to MLB.
Edit: here’s the article
baseballprospectus.com
(日本人打者で一番言われるのは「球速に対応できるか」。日本は95mph超えを常に投げる投手が多くないからね。
岡本はその指標で悪くないので、見立てはそこそこ良い。MLBで成功するかの相関が一番強い要素でもある。追記:記事はこちら)

Who knows what kind of season he puts up, but I was kinda mad when the Blue Jays got Okomoto. Adding another good defending, high contact hitter with solid pop just continues to strengthen what made them so special last year.
He could very well put up “meh” outcomes, but his skillset checks all the Blue Jays boxes. As a fan of a team trying to win the AL, that’s pretty frustrating.
(どんな成績になるかは分からないけど、ブルージェイズが岡本を取った時ちょっと腹立った。守備が良くて、当てられて、パワーもある…去年の強みをさらに強化する補強だから。
微妙な結果に終わる可能性もあるが、スキルセットがJaysの好みど真ん中。AL取りにいく側のファンとしては厄介すぎる)

Casual 450 foot bombs (no idea what actual distance was but I’m going with this).
So far based on exactly two plays I’ve watched, he is going to be a top notch defensive 3B who will hit 30 home runs. Please do not puncture my hype.

Kazuma Okamoto hit 15 homeruns in less than 70 games playing in NPB last year in an extreme dead-ball era, not to mention Okamoto getting injured (elbow) in a May 6 collision last year with Hanshin Tigers’ runner Takumu Nakano at 1B which sidelined him until mid-August. Dude’s got legit power alright.
