Research Brief
What the case shows
- In 2014 and 2015, the two void years, come the first double-digit wins and double-digit home runs in one season, then the titles for most wins and best earned run average.
- His signing with the Angels in December 2017 and his departure for America on 1 February 2018 fall inside a void year seen from his year pillar.
- 2022 and 2023 bring the first guardian element in the annual phase, while the ten-year phase also carries it. In March 2023: WBC champion and tournament MVP.
- 2026 is the first of two void years.
- From July 2026 his pitching appearances stop — a period in which a monthly void overlaps an annual void.

- What did the direction of his crossing to America indicate?
- How did the structure of his ten-year phases change at his 2025 birthday?
- Why did the strain surface in July 2026 — and what arrives in 2027?
