That said, Suzuki is unproven when compared to some MLB stars, but the 27-year-old has shown some promise throughout his career and could be an intriguing player to help the Cubs rebuild.

During the 2021 season, Suzuki hit 38 home runs, posted a .644 slugging percentage, and was a thrill to watch while he was with the Hiroshima Toyo Carp. Now Suzuki is bringing his talents to Chicago.

It’ll be fascinating to see how Suzuki’s move to Major League Baseball goes.

Even if he isn’t quite as productive for the Cubs as he was this past season in Hiroshima, he can still have a solid year and make a difference for a team seeking some success.
