games in 2006) for most rookie HRs by a Japanese native…Ohtani & Hideki Matsui (5 times) are only Japanese players
with 20+ HRs in a season…Reached 20 HRs in 91 non-pitching games, second-fastest Angel rookie to reach 20 homers

4-2 with a 3.31 ERA (51.2 IP – 19 ER) and his 63 strikeouts were the most by any pitcher in Angels history through his
first 10 career starts...Allowed three-or-fewer runs in nine of 10 starts and held opponents to a .036 (2/55) batting
average against his splitter...Named American League Rookie of Month in April & September and also received A.L.
