岡島の奪三振率は９．５５/９回

Boston Heraldより抜粋。
Strikeouts per nine innings pitched recorded by left-handed reliever Hideki Okajima during his career in Japan before signing a two-year, $2.5 million contract with the Red Sox on Thursday. Okajima, who prefers to be called “Okaji,” will turn 31 on Christmas Day. Slotted by the Red Sox to be their left-handed specialist out of the bullpen next year, Okajima went 34-32 with 41 saves and a 3.36 ERA during his career in Japan, mostly with the Yomiuri Giants.
