Takuya Koori

Takuya Koori is one of those guys where the resume is quietly intriguing — born in Mitaka, Tokyo in 1998, forged at Teikyo High School, which is basically a baseball factory that churns out players who know what real grind looks like. A seventh-round pick who turned himself from a catcher into a utility man able to play infield and outfield, he's the kind of player who's been heads-down doing the work rather than chasing the spotlight. I like that. Baseball at that level is brutally unglamorous behind the scenes, and the Teikyo pipeline alone says he's put in time most people never see. Keep an eye on this one.
