Hisashi Iwakuma is just a video game character, according to Google

Something’s not quite right with Hisashi Iwakuma.

Hisashi Iwakuma has been with the Seattle Mariners since 2012, but if you're searching for him today you might think he's just a created character in a video game.

When you Google "Mariners roster" this is the image you get. A whole host of standard headshots, Robinson Cano still in a Yankees uniform and a completely digital Iwakuma. Poor guy didn't even get a good next-gen video game shot of him, this is some old pixelated mess.

You deserve better than this.
