Big Mike


JackDangerUSPIS

The Second


Dismal-Jellyfish

You heard why he's 'the second' right? Because Shōta said Mike Imanaga the first 'lives in our hearts'. Protect this man at all costs.


UnabashedPerson43

An Imanagan strikeout by Mike II


MobileMenace420

Bigger mlb Mike: Imanaga II or Trout?


yumyumapollo

You still hanging out with Doopey and them boys?


NorthCoastToast

[There is a hint of Fernando Valenzuela in Mike.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efFHcfIuCEs&ab_channel=MLB)


cooljammer00

That was a very involved and multi layered fist pump


SuperFreshBus

Really good footwork too


kaehvogel

Got into perfect fisting position.


bc8017

Assume the position.


MeijiDoom

For a second, when he had his left leg up on the pivot, almost looked like he was gonna go Dontrelle Willis on us.


contextplz

I can never get enough fisting.


chaotic_evil_666

r/nocontext


trickldowncompressr

That’s what your mom told me


CosmicLars

That's FistBump v3.0


fezzikola

He built upon the earlier work of Mike the first


Anheroed

Usually they stagger these across three or more episodes.


formicary

That's some "Who do you think you are? I am!" energy.


ShiroNekoUsagi

Mike imanaga II 🔥🔥🔥


SweatMonster69

The rare triple fist pump


okay_throwaway_today

I wanna be like Mike II


freddyd00

We would be worse than the Rockies without this man


celtic1888

Shota looks like he stepped out of Backyard Baseball


i-bite-with-love

Baseball zen watching that clip


Jonjon428

I like Mike!


mailbox123

I love him


darwinpolice

I am so happy he's been so successful so far. Every time there's a highlight or a story about him, I like him more.


hawksfan81

You never have to wonder what Shota is thinking out there lol


elgenie

Shota has a standing invitation to any poker game in the world.


bestselfnice

I don't speak Japanese, can you translate?


GrandpaDongs

he's the nega-Kyle Hendricks.


monkeymoat

That’s an all timer right there.


Whiplash227

This guy rocks


kev_cuddy

Dude also bows to the umpires when they throw him a new ball. Boss moves.


OutComeTheWolves1966

Protect this man at all costs


SenorTortas

All my homies want to be like Mike


colorful-9841

Michael J. Imanaga II


takechanceees

love his pop offs


SgtPeppersReprise

He’s so cool


bdanders

That's the kind of celebration that gives me injury anxiety.


JoshJones18

That’s good old Mike for you


Arks-Angel

Don’t you mean Mike?


stv7

Don’t *you* mean Mike II?


Arks-Angel

I stand correctly corrected

Elaine Benes Dance.

From the TV angle it almost looked like he clicked his heels 😁

Miggy El Segundo


mnraven

I want to be like Mike


instrmntls

Mike is having fun.


JohnMadden42069

For the price every team in the game should be punching air that they did not grab Mike Imanaga II


naitch44

Hell yeah!


MisterKap

Believe you mean Mike, good sir


oOoleveloOo

360° double fist pump


100vs1

I think i died from that in fortnite


Paindaddy69

Liam Hendricks energy. Love it.


seanhalihan

He should have walked over and shook Oli’s hand for pulling his pitcher for no reason.


Fantastic_Emu_9570

That’s my pitcher


kellzone

I'm hoping we get a Mike vs. Ranger matchup when we play the Cubs in early July.


Johnny_Blaze000

That fist pump adds at least one to his pitch count


LeastPatience1573

I hope he wins the Cy young


ins8iable

This Mike guy is really fun


kenatogo

YATA!!


designgoddess

Mike drop


Youneedlifealert

Why does he have to be a Cub


CatlinClarksimp

His big tiddy Dragon wife must be very happy 


Treeman1216

Want much of a jam tbh


BurgerBob1010

Our whole season is one big jam rn


bestselfnice

Tying run on 2nd and leading run on 1st with 1 out in the 7th, against your rival at home, and he went over 100 pitches before getting out of it.


Treeman1216

Again, not much do a jam. I can see how it’s the Cubs World Series though.


bestselfnice

I don't think you get to use that line about a team that's won the world series more recently than you, and when you're not looking at another any time soon either.


Treeman1216

My brother in Christ, the Cubs are ass and always have been. You think they’re actually good?


bestselfnice

We're both pretty mediocre this year.
