In 1997, Irabu's baseball career in the United States began with a memorable signing with the San Diego Padres. He played just four games there before getting traded to the New York Yankees. He made his MLB debut in 1997 with the New York Yankees, where he continued his impressive performances as a pitcher. In 1998, Irabu had a solid season with a record of 13-9 and an earned run average (ERA) of 4.06. That same year, he helped the New York Yankees win the World Series championship, the franchise's 24th title.

Despite his bright career accolades, Irabu’s career took a downward spiral after being traded to the Montreal Expos in 2000. In 2001, he joined the Texas Rangers but struggled with his form, recording a disappointing record of 5-8 with an ERA of 5.74. After a few years of playing in the United States, Irabu returned to Japan to play for the Hanshin Tigers in 2003. Sadly, on July 27, 2011, at age 42, Irabu committed suicide. However, despite his tragic end, his legacy as one of the greatest Japanese players to grace the MLB continues to live on with many fans remembering him fondly.
