My Take
Okay, the name alone got me curious—Montell Higuma, a kid born in 2000 in Chatan, Okinawa, and honestly I can already picture the blue water and that hard island sunlight behind him. Then I see baseball player and 185cm, and yeah, that tracks; a guy that tall must just plain stand out on the diamond. What gets me is that he left Okinawa to go play high school ball at Konko Osaka, which means he packed up young, crossed the water, and went and got toughened up in Kansai chasing the game. I don't know his big headline stats yet, and I'm not going to pretend I do, but I've always had a soft spot for the quiet grinders who build it up one rep at a time. He's still early, still got runway, and I'm rooting for him to grow into it.
