His stuff looks nasty (youtube below). He has at least two sick pitches. My only question would be about his command. A 3 K/BB and 11 K/9 would be good for minor league ball, but not as good as what sure things like Strasburg were doing around his age.
If he wanted to be a hitter, he'd need to add a lot of bulk. And that would get in the way of pitching. So, yeah, he has to choose, and it looks like he should choose pitching. I project as a solid opening-day starter.

Another good outing, 8 IP, 0 R, 10 Ks, hit leadoff and hit the first pitch of the game for a HR as well.
ERA 1.90, BA .339, 10 HRs
Hasn't allowed a run in 30 innings

God damnit do we have to go through this with EVERY Japanese player (except ichiro who's Asian twinkness worked to his advantage by being able to stroke the ball but also tap it to the second baseman and run it out).
Asians are the weakest physical creatures (along with many Jews). He might be a good power hitter and power pitcher in Japan but once he's up against major league talent, he will be average. Just like everyone else.

led his team to the Japan Series both through dominant pitching performances (including a kershaw like save in deciding game of the nlcs equivalent) and strong batting
good long article on the man

10th inning walk off single by Otani to win game 3 of the Japan Series
he went 3-4 with 2 doubles and the walk off hit. Pretty good game for a pitcher serving as DH

I watched the 60 Minutes piece on him today.
This guy is fucking impressive. He's going to get paid a fortune by an MLB team.
But I highly, highly doubt any major league team is going to let him play the field when he isn't pitching. Best case scenario an AL team toys with having him DH occasionally, and even that seems extremely unlikely. It's a shame, because he sure can crush the ball in addition to being a great pitcher. But if the pitching doesn't work out he could easily pull an Ankiel and become a full-time position player.

It's official! The Nippon Ham Fighters have announced they are posting Otani. He will be in MLB next year.
Dude is leaving 200 million on the table to come to the US now due to the stupid rules on international free agents under 25, he just wants to test himself against the best.
Since no one can pay him anything close to market salary, word is he will prioritize choosing a club that will let him pitch and hit on off days.
HERE WE GOOOOOOOO
