Tomohiro Anraku

I can't hear the name Tomohiro Anraku without flashing back to that Koshien run, when this kid from Matsuyama threw what felt like a thousand pitches in a handful of days and the whole baseball world collectively winced. He was the "monster" prospect, 186cm of it, the type of frame that's supposed to launch absolute heat for a decade, and I'll always wonder what we'd have gotten if those teenage innings hadn't piled up so cruelly young. It's the case that turned pitch-count debates from boring into urgent, honestly. What gets me, though, is that he kept lacing up and grinding through the pro ranks anyway, no sulking, just stubborn work. I root for that guy. Part of me still wants one more glimpse of that fearless fastball at full tilt.
