Mizuki Hori

Mizuki Hori is the kind of pitcher who makes you lean forward a little every time he takes the mound. At 177 cm he's not the towering presence some closers project, but watching him work a lineup you realize pretty fast that the arm speed and the composure are doing more heavy lifting than any height advantage ever could. He was the ace of Japan's 2016 U-18 Asian champions and a first-round pick, yet he keeps a low profile off the field and lets the work speak. I'm watching this guy's career with genuine interest.
