My Take
Manaya Nishikawa was born in Kita-ku, Osaka, went east to Hanasaki Tokuharu High School in Saitama, and never really came back: the Saitama Seibu Lions drafted him and he has built his career in the same prefecture. An outfielder at 180 cm, he was not one of those high school picks who walks straight into a lineup. It took years of moving between the farm club and the top team before he had ground of his own. I have a soft spot for careers shaped that way. Players who arrive late and then stay tend to be more interesting than the ones who flash early and vanish.
