Ryūi Itō

Ryūi Itō was born on 11 September 2002 and comes from Takasaki in Gunma Prefecture. He left Tokyo University of Agriculture, played a season for the independent Niigata Albirex BC, and joined the Tokyo Yakult Swallows as a fifth-round pick in the 2023 draft, debuting in May 2024 as an infielder. For every player whose name is known nationally, professional baseball carries many more who are still in the part of the career that nobody writes about yet. He is in his early twenties. Whatever he becomes has mostly not happened. Reaching the professional level at all filters out nearly everyone who tries, and doing it by way of the independent leagues is harder still.
