My Take
Yokota was a 187cm outfielder drafted by the Hanshin Tigers; a brain tumour took his career before it began. He came back anyway. At his 2019 farewell game, barely able to see, he threw from centre field on the fly to the plate and cut the runner down. That was no miracle. That was ten thousand repetitions answering back. He died in 2023, aged 28.
