My Take
Takahiro Saeki was born in 1970 in Higashinari-ku, Osaka, went through Jinsei Gakuen High School and Osaka University of Commerce, and made his career as an infielder in Nippon Professional Baseball. At 186 cm he had the frame of a slugger, but what I remember about players of his type is not highlight reels; it is durability, the unromantic business of being in the lineup. After retiring he moved into coaching, working on fielding for the Chunichi Dragons under manager Motonobu Tanishige. When Tanishige was dismissed in August 2016, Saeki lost his position too. That detail sticks with me. A coaching staff is treated as an extension of the manager, so your job can end for reasons that have nothing to do with how well you did it. A player spends fifteen years being judged by his own numbers, then moves into a role where someone else's results decide his fate. Baseball is generous with second careers and merciless about how they end.
