My Take
I have a soft spot for guys like Teruaki Satō, the Hanshin Tigers slugger who came up through Kindai University, because watching him is basically a coin flip and I love that. When he connects, the ball just leaves in a flat scream and the whole of Koshien shakes like a small earthquake; when he doesn't, the bat whirls through empty air like a desk fan and you wince in sympathy. But that's the gamble that keeps Tigers fans hooked, right? One swing and he sells you a dream all over again. I also enjoy the cocky little look after he fires a laser from third base to nail a runner. Strikeouts, errors, whatever, he always leaves you waiting for the next at-bat. A genuinely maddening, lovable player.
