Takashi Ogino

Plenty of ballplayers are fast. Far fewer keep delivering every time they come back, and coming back is the story with Takashi Ogino. Raised in Asuka, Nara, he turned professional later than most prospects, and injuries have shadowed him since: out, back, stealing bases, out again. At 172 cm he never looked like a marquee athlete. To Chiba Lotte fans he was simply the leadoff man.
