Shingo Itō

Shingo Ito is one of those baseball players who just let the work speak for themselves — and honestly, I respect that more than I probably should. Born in 1990, he converted from ace pitcher to outfielder at Chukyo High School and reached the spring Koshien before the Chunichi Dragons drafted him. Standing at 185cm, he had the kind of frame you'd build a roster around: reach matters whether you're stretching for a throw at first or generating bat speed through the zone. His first-team career amounted to four games in 2013, and after leaving the Dragons he went home to Gifu to run a newspaper shop, which I find quietly admirable.
