So far in his MLB career, Imai has mentioned difficulties with the timing of his meals, the Seattle weather, the hardness of a mound, the texture of the MLB ball and the slope of MLB mounds.
Houston Astros could be a particularly tough transition. Maybe Seattle Mariners would have been easier for him because there is more Japanese influences there. Or a team with Japanese players already on the roster. Supposedly he said he didn’t want to be on a team with another Japanese player on it.
I, as a Californian, would struggle with adjusting to Houston too.
