My Take
Sachiya Yamasaki's name trips up Japanese readers before his pitching does. The characters in it are not read the way anyone expects, and once you learn it you never forget it. He came out of Saitama by way of Meiji University, and at 188 cm he owns the kind of frame that is unpleasant to face from the batter's box before he has thrown anything. Born in 1992, he is well past the age where anyone calls a pitcher a prospect, and he has since moved from Orix to the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, still taking the mound up north. A high draft pick who never quite exploded but keeps being wanted by another club is, to me, walking the hardest road in the sport. I will take that over a highlight reel.
