My Take
Born in Kyoto in 2004, Shion Matsuo came through Osaka Toin, winning the Meiji Jingu Tournament and the spring Koshien with them, and became the Yokohama DeNA BayStars' first catcher taken in the first round of the draft since Motonobu Tanishige 34 years earlier. 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.
