NPB’s Yokohama DeNA BayStars Re-Sign Michael Peoples

By Mark Polishuk | January 22, 2022 at 3:02pm CDT

The Yokohama DeNA BayStars have re-signed right-hander Michael Peoples to a new contract for the 2022 season, the team announced.  This will be Peoples’ third season pitching with the BayStars.

Originally a 14th-round pick in the 2012 draft, Peoples posted a 4.16 ERA and a 17.3% strikeout rate over eight seasons and 779 2/3 innings in Cleveland’s farm system.  Working primarily (126 of 166 games) as a starter, Peoples saw action at the Triple-A level over the last four of his seasons in affiliated ball, but never got the call to the majors.  Injuries played a role, as Peoples was limited to only 133 1/3 total innings in 2017-18 and kept him from a full Triple-A season until 2019.

Over his first two seasons in Japan, Peoples spent time with both the BayStars’ NPB team and its minor league affiliate.  The 30-year-old righty has a 4.55 ERA over 85 innings with Yokohama.  Tyler Austin, Edwin Escobar, Fernando Romero, and Neftali Soto are some of the former MLB players joining Peoples as the non-Japanese contingent in the BayStars’ spring camp.

      Man.

      A one game “postseason” followed by another extremely disappointing football season, Clip…& all we have are puns about some player I am pretty sure I have never heard of.

      Lockouts are boring.
      & Cash has seemingly adopted a strict policy of radio silence.
