Takanobu Tsujiuchi

Takanobu Tsujiuchi, born December 5, 1987 in Kawanishi, Nara Prefecture, was a 185 cm left-hander out of Osaka Toin High School and the Yomiuri Giants' first-round pick in the 2005 high-school draft; injuries kept him out of the first team, and he was released in 2013. Japanese baseball is a sport with an enormous shadow population — for every player whose name carries nationally, there are dozens who trained identically, threw the same number of pitches, and left the same amount of their arm on the mound, but whose careers did not generate a paper trail that survives. An empty first-team record is not the same thing as a thin life. A tall left-handed pitcher out of a small Nara town who went first round has already done something most people never do.
