My Take
I've got a real soft spot for Japanese ballplayers like this guy. Born in 1989 in Kokura, that scrappy steel-town stretch of Kitakyushu in Fukuoka, he's a pro infielder who clearly came up the long, dusty way rather than the highlight-reel way. He's tall, listed around 181 centimeters, but I imagine he carries himself low and steady on the diamond, all quiet leverage. What gets me about careers like his isn't the occasional clutch hit; it's the unglamorous grind underneath it, the daily body-maintenance, the showing up again the morning after a brutal loss. There's a stubborn Kyushu grit I picture in him, the kind that doesn't quit and doesn't need a spotlight. He's exactly the type of player I'd quietly root for from the cheap seats.
