Kazuki Mishima

Kazuki Mishima pitched for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars from 2013 to 2025, and the shape of his story wins me over. A Fukuoka kid who went through Hosei University and then made it into pro ball is the kind of grind-it-out path I always root for. He doesn't strike me as a loud, attention-chasing type either, and I'm a sucker for that kind of substance-over-flash player.
