Ukyō Maegawa

I'll be honest, seeing a 2003 birth year made me sit up and feel my own age a little, because here's a kid from Tsu in Mie Prefecture already swinging a bat in pro ball while the rest of us are still talking about it. Chiben Gakuen rings a bell for anyone who's watched a Japanese summer, that's a Koshien powerhouse, and there's something quietly thrilling about a player forged in that pressure cooker stepping up to the next level. I don't know how the career arc lands yet, but I'm rooting for him already, all upside and grit. Worth keeping an eye on this one.
