Shingo Takatsu (?? ??, Takatsu Shingo) (born November 25, 1968) is a former professional baseball pitcher.
He had a short stint with the Chicago White Sox where he was the closer for two seasons until struggles closing games ultimately led to his demotion to the minors.
Despite being demoted in the summer of 2005, he received a World Series ring with the White Sox.
He was signed by the New York Mets during the 2005 season, and he pitched in nine games for New York.
After the 2005 season, he returned to the Nippon Professional Baseball. He is known by the nickname "Mr.
