Yano Named Top Reliever for PBC Thursday, November 4th , 2021 Junro Yano said his performance in 2021 was a "statement" to the entire league. "As an impending free agent you feel like you've got something to prove, something to work for to ensure that next contract," said the El Paso Diablos pitcher, who is seemingly heading for free agency.
