My Take
I'll be honest — I didn't have Sōtarō Shimauchi on my radar until the 2023 Central League season made it impossible to ignore him. Thirty-nine holds and a 2.31 ERA as a reliever? That's not luck, that's a guy who has quietly built one of the tightest bullpen arms in the league. The Hiroshima Carp picking up a Best Relief Pitcher award is already a rare thing, and the fact that it was this Fukuoka-born right-hander who delivered it feels weirdly fitting. 158 km/h heat from a reliever who just keeps showing up, keeps getting the job done. I'm the type who roots for the guy holding the bridge together while everyone watches the closer, and Shimauchi is exactly that guy.
