My Take
Mikiya Tanaka is 166 cm tall and plays infield in Japan's top professional league, which tells you most of what you need to know about how he got there. Born in November 2000 in Aikawa, Kanagawa, he came up through Tokai University Sugao high school and then Asia University, a program with a long reputation for drilling defence, before joining the Chunichi Dragons. Players his size do not survive on power. They survive on the first step, the clean transfer, the throw that arrives half a beat early. His page here is mostly empty at the moment: no awards, no timeline. That is honest rather than damning, because he is early. If you want to know what he actually offers, don't read the batting line, watch him between first and second base.
