PITTSBURGH — How good was Cubs right fielder Seiya Suzuki during his career in Japan’s top baseball league? So good, he debuted at 19. So good, he was a five-time All-Star. So good, he was named an all-league first-teamer six times. Have we mentioned the pair of batting titles and the five Gold Gloves?
This is some career we’re talking about. Suzuki also — as you know — played for the Cubs all of last season and, at 28, clearly has been around the block. He hasn’t been in the major leagues for long, but does he feel more like a young pup or an old pro?
