description: "Suguru Egawa  is a Japanese former pitcher and current baseball analyst. Despite being one of the best pitchers of his generation, Egawa's perceived arrogance and non-conformist ways earned him the media nicknames \"Dirty Egawa,\" \"The Giant Devil,\" and \"The Enemy of the People.\" Most famously, Egawa expressed interest in playing in the Central League over the Pacific League, even when being drafted in 1977 and 1978. As a technical free agent in 1978, he signed with the Yomiuri Giants, which caused a headache for the league that resulted in him eventually being traded to the Yomiuri Giants. He played with the Giants for eight years before retiring due to arm injuries."
