My Take
Winning a batting title once sets a hitter up for life. Uchikawa won one in each league: Central with Yokohama in 2008, Pacific with SoftBank in 2011, the first man to manage both. That .378 season is still the high mark for a right-handed hitter in Japan. Three clubs, past 2,000 hits, done in 2022. Now he explains it from the booth.
