My Take
Morishita joined the Hanshin Tigers as a first-round pick and was hitting in the middle of the order almost immediately. His rookie season, 2023, was the year Hanshin won the Japan Series for the first time in 38 years, under the loudest fanbase in Japanese baseball. That eats young players. Born in Yokohama in 2000, he just looked unhurried.
