Kento Watanabe

An infielder for the Saitama Seibu Lions, born in 1998 in Yokohama, and our awards and timeline fields sit empty. Those are the pages I find most interesting. Infield spots are the hardest to win in Japanese pro baseball, and he is mid-fight. The numbers may come, or may never. That is the cruelty of it. I want to reread this page once it fills in.
