My Take
Shin'ya Okamoto, born October 21, 1974 in Kyoto Prefecture and 183 cm tall, was the Chunichi Dragons' fourth-round pick in 2000; in 2004 he pitched in 63 games in relief and made the All-Star team, and he later pitched for Seibu, the LG Twins in Korea and Rakuten. Japanese professional baseball has always had a large population of players whose careers were substantial without ever being loud, and the internet tends to reward the loud ones. A tall pitcher who lasted at the top level put in an enormous number of hours that never turned into anecdotes. Baseball is a sport of records, so somewhere those innings are all written down in numbers even when nobody wrote the stories around them.
