Eito Tanaka

Okay, so a 184cm lefty pitcher out of Nakatsu in Oita? I'm already rooting for him. There's something I find endlessly easy to love about a tall southpaw who came up the unglamorous way, grinding through his Yanagigaura high school days with his eyes locked on the next level instead of chasing flashy headlines. Honestly, I'll take a quiet grinder over a hyped phenom every time. And I can't help grinning at the fact that he tucked his uniform number right into his Instagram handle, that's a guy who actually loves the jersey he's wearing, not just the spotlight. He's still early, still building a name, but if a long-armed lefty like this ever finds his groove, good luck touching him. Folks back in Nakatsu, keep an eye on this one.
