Taichi Taka

Taichi Taka was born on July 26, 2001 in Niihama, Ehime Prefecture, played at Osaka University of Commerce, and is a baseball player. That is genuinely most of what the record holds, and I think that is the correct state of affairs for someone in his mid-twenties. The worst thing a database can do to a young athlete is inflate him — invent a defining moment before he has had one. What I find worth noting is the geography of the path: Niihama is a mid-sized industrial city on Shikoku, not a talent pipeline, and getting from there to a university program in Osaka and then into professional baseball requires four years of grinding with no guarantee at the end. College players in Japan live under a hard deadline. If the draft doesn't call, the whole thing simply stops, and everyone in the clubhouse knows it. Surviving that pressure well enough to keep playing is an accomplishment even when the stat line is still short. His page is mostly blank right now. In a few years I would like to come back and find that it isn't.
