My Take
I've got a soft spot for catchers, and Shingo Usami is exactly the kind of player I find myself quietly rooting for. He's a Chiba kid out of Matsudo, a sturdy 181cm guy who chose the least glamorous job on the diamond: squatting behind the plate, taking foul tips and fastballs to the body, reading hitters, and basically running the whole game while nobody in the stands chants his name. No flashy home-run-trot energy here, just steady, thinking-man's work. He has moved from the Giants to Nippon-Ham to Chunichi, and now covers the infield as well as catching. That's the type I respect most. He may never be the headline, but the people who actually watch baseball closely know precisely how much a guy like this holds a team together.
