My Take
At 170 cm, Katsuki Azuma is small for a professional pitcher, and in Japanese baseball that means being doubted before you even throw. He has held his place with the Yokohama DeNA BayStars anyway. Born in Yokkaichi, Mie, and schooled at Aichi Institute of Technology Meiden, he reached the NPB All-Star game in 2018. That same autumn he was named to the Japan squad for the MLB Japan All-Star Series and then withdrew. Choosing a longer career over a short honour is the unglamorous, grown-up call, and I respect it.
