Ryūsei Terachi

I'll be honest, I'm a sucker for a prospect, and Ryusei Terachi is exactly the kind of kid I love to keep an eye on. Born in 2005 in Sumida, Tokyo, he came through the Meitoku Gijuku baseball program in Kochi and joined the Chiba Lotte Marines. In 2025, with the regular catcher hurt, he took over more of the catching, hit two home runs in a game as a teenager and made the All-Star team. The whole career is still ahead of him, and I'm quietly rooting for him to keep climbing.
