Shōta Imanaga, a pitcher for the Cubs, bows and tips his cap to umpires after receiving a new baseball as a gesture of respect. This tradition stems from Japan where it is customary to show respect by bowing. Imanaga, known for his humility and impressive performance, holds several MLB records including the lowest ERA through his first nine career starts. His next game is against the Cardinals.
