My Take
Shion Matsuo is one of those entries where the honest thing to say is that the story has barely started. Born in Kyoto in 2004, he came through Osaka Toin, one of the most demanding high school programs in the country, and now catches for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars. That is most of what the record holds so far, and I think that is fine. Catcher is the slowest position in baseball to grow into: learning a pitching staff, reading hitters, running a game from behind the plate — none of it arrives quickly, and anyone fully formed at twenty-two would be the exception rather than the rule. What interests me is watching someone in the unglamorous middle of that apprenticeship, before the highlights exist. Come back to this page in a few years and it should look very different.
