Kento Watanabe

Born in 1998 in Yokohama, Kento Watanabe spent 2021 to 2025 as an infielder with the Saitama Seibu Lions. Infield spots are the hardest to win in Japanese pro baseball, and the numbers never quite came. That is the cruelty of it. He is still playing, now for the corporate team Sankyo Create, and still in his twenties.
