Ryūtarō Hatsuki

Reaching Japan's top league is brutally hard, and Hatsuki got there: a Miyazaki-born infielder in a Hiroshima Toyo Carp uniform in his early twenties. That is why 2026 stung. He was arrested in January over the controlled substance etomidate, and the Carp released him on February 25. Years of work came apart in weeks. He is young enough to rebuild.
