Atsuki Tomosugi

Born in Osaka on November 7, 2000, Atsuki Tomosugi is exactly the kind of player I find myself quietly rooting for — the guy who does all the unglamorous stuff at shortstop before anyone really notices him. He came up through Tenri University as a legitimate double-threat, earning batting titles and MVP honors in college ball, then got taken by the Chiba Lotte Marines in the second round of the 2022 draft. That college pedigree is real, and shortstop is the hardest position to break into at the top level, so the fact that he stuck around and got consistent reps tells you something about the defense. He's compact — 171 cm — which means he has to be smarter and quicker than the big guys, and from what I can tell he's been doing exactly that. I want to see him hit his stride at 25. Keep an eye on this one.
