My Take
Okay, so a 184cm right-handed pitcher out of Nakatsu in Oita? I'm already rooting for him. There's something I find endlessly easy to love about a tall right-hander 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 righty like this ever finds his groove, good luck touching him. Folks back in Nakatsu, keep an eye on this one.
