Shuya Yamada

I'll be honest, the first thing that got me was the birth year, 2005, which means this kid is barely out of his teens and already grinding it out in pro baseball, and that alone makes me sit up. He's a Sendai boy from Miyagi, up in the snowy northeast, and he came through Sendai Ikuei, which is basically a factory for serious high school ballplayers, so I picture him having been put through the wringer already. I don't pretend to know his stat line cold, but there's something about a kid who chased a white baseball with his teeth gritted through cold Tohoku winters that tells me the spine is straight. He's a Leo, all upside, tons of room left to grow into something. Count me among the folks quietly rooting for him.

Shuya Yamada is a professional baseball player born on August 20, 2005, in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan.
