One thing is certain about Shota Imanaga: He’s must-see TV.

And that isn’t limited to just the innings he’s on the mound.

Imanaga has delivered a slew of classic press conference moments this season, beginning from his first when he belted out the opening lines of “Go Cubs Go.”

He had another great response Tuesday night after one of the best outings of his career.

Imanaga struck out a career-high 10 batters in 7 innings as the Cubs beat the Twins 7-3 at Wrigley Field.

It was only the 5th time this season that Imanaga has started on a typical 5-day rotation (with 4 days of rest between outings). Throughout the year, the Cubs have found ways wherever they could to give Imanaga extra rest — he has made 11 starts on 5 days rest and 5 outings with 6 or more days between starts.

In Japan, the schedule was a lot different and Imanaga typically only threw once a week, with plenty of rest in between.

Yet he’s excelled on the standard 5-day rotation that MLB starters follow — including Tuesday’s game, he is now 3-0 with a 2.10 ERA and 0.82 WHIP on 4 days rest.

“I think first off, just throwing on 4 days rest is not something that’s special or anything,” Imanaga said through interpreter Edwin Stanberry. “So I think for one, there’s that. But also two, I was talking to Edwin and he was teaching me about breathing techniques so using that helped.”

What were those techniques?

“Four seconds inhale, four seconds hold your breath, four seconds exhale,” Imanaga said. “And doing that calms down the body. But when I’m holding my breath, I feel like I’m gonna pass out.”

Does he do this on the field too?

“If I did it on the mound, it would probably be a pitch clock violation,” Imanaga said. “So I do it when I come back in between innings. Especially when I know it’s gonna be an important inning like the 6th or the 7th like today.”

Imanaga improved to 9-2 on the season and the Cubs are now 17-4 when he starts a game (no matter how much rest he has between outings).
