Tetsuya Iida

Tetsuya Iida is one of those guys whose path is more interesting than the box scores. Born in Fujisawa, Kanagawa in 1991 — that's a laid-back coastal city, the kind of place that tends to produce people who don't feel the need to shout about themselves. A 182 cm left-hander, he worked as a JR East station attendant at Ikebukuro while pitching in corporate ball, added speed to reach 145 km/h, made it to the Hiroshima Carp and, after retiring in 2019, stayed on as the club's chief analyst, and there's something quietly refreshing about a player who just wants to be around the game.
