Satoshi Tejima

Satoshi Tejima is one of those guys whose story is bigger than his stat line — a 185 cm pitcher out of Futtsu, a coastal town on Tokyo Bay in Chiba, whose father fished for Japanese spider crabs and whose glove carried the name of his father's boat. He went from Nippon Oil to the Chiba Lotte Marines through the 2004 draft, but made just one appearance on the top team before being released in 2009. What I like is what came next: he stayed with the club behind the scenes, working through a rough patch in public relations before finding his feet. Craftsman energy. The kind of person who shows up, does the work, and keeps the team running.

Satoshi Tejima (born June 16, 1982, in Futtsu, Chiba Prefecture) is a Japanese former professional baseball pitcher. Standing 185 cm tall, he joined the Chiba Lotte Marines through the 2004 draft after playing for Takushoku University Kouryo High School and the corporate team Nippon Oil, and retired after being released in 2009. He later worked for the club as a batting practice pitcher and in its public relations office.
