All-Star Japanese pitcher, philanthropist and model Yu Darvish can now add writer to his ever-growing resume.The 22-year-old Darvish, considered by many to be Japan’s best pitcher, has written an instructional baseball book that reveals his techniques for throwing a variety of pitches including change-ups, curves, sliders and sinkers, the Nikkan Sports newspaper reported Friday.

The book, which will be released in mid-July by Baseball Magazine Co., is the latest venture for the popular pitcher, who is the son of an Iranian father and a Japanese mother.
