From Slvruga

"Maekawa had legal problems in Japan resulting from a hit-and-run
accident. He did not pitch in Japan in 2007 because of the problems, and
according to Japanese media, he had been driving without a license for
as many as four years and was unofficially barred from the Japanese
major leagues."

2-1 with a 1.82 ERA in the Dominican Winter Leagues.
