In April 2003, he recorded his 100th save in only his 148th appearance, the fastest in the history of Japanese baseball.

He was picked up by the Yokohama BayStars, but was demoted to relief duty after Kazuhiro Sasaki returned as the team's closer in 2004.
He also sustained an injury to his pitching arm, and returned to the U.S. in June, 2004 for surgery.
