Tomoyuki Sugano has made an immediate impact in his first season with the Baltimore Orioles after playing professionally in Japan for more than a decade. Sugano, a 35-year-old starting pitcher, has a 4-3 record with a 3.07 earned run average. He came to Baltimore after playing 12 seasons in his home country of Japan. He's the third Japanese player to ever be on the O's roster. WJZ's Dennis Valera spoke with Sugano, who said playing in America has been his dream.
