  • Marc Jason Kroon is an American right-handed relief pitcher, formerly in Major League Baseball, who is currently the closer for the Yomiuri Giants of Japan's Central League. He was drafted by the New York Mets in 1991. After playing for various teams including the Cincinnati Reds, he joined the Yokohama BayStars in 2005. That year, he set the record for the fastest pitch ever in Japanese baseball, at 161 km/h (100 miles/h). He threw fastballs at that speed several times while playing in Yokohama. After the 2007 season, Kroon got into a contract dispute with the BayStars, and ended up being a free agent instead of accepting Yokohama's contract offer. Kroon was later signed by the Yomiuri Giants along with two other major non-Japanese free agents: former Tokyo Yakult Swallows standouts Seth Greisinger, and Alex Ramirez. In 2008, Kroon led the Central League in saves with 41. Also broke his own record of pitching to 162km/h.
