Red Sox signed a Brazilian prospect pitcher! As a Brazilian, that is pretty cool to see. Apparently he is from Brazil as well, which is different from somebody that comes to the States. Random fact about Brazil and baseball: the sport actually came from the Japanese since Brazil has the largest population of Japanese descendants outside of Japan. If you look at the Brazilian roster, half the players have Japanese last names.
