My Take
Catching is the least legible job in baseball. A home run announces itself; a pitch sequence that steals an extra out leaves nothing behind in the box score. Seishiro Sakamoto, born in Hyogo in 1993, came through Meiji University and settled in behind the plate for the Hanshin Tigers, a local kid crouching in his home region's most scrutinised square metre. At 176 cm he is not an imposing figure by catcher standards, but whether a pitcher trusts the back in front of him has nothing to do with size. His given name is built from the characters for sincerity and resolve, which is almost too fitting. He will never be the reason a highlight reel exists. Teams still fall apart without someone doing exactly what he does.
