My Take
Yota Kyoda was born in Nomi, Ishikawa in 1994, came out of Nihon University, and won the Central League Rookie of the Year award in 2017 with the Chunichi Dragons. A 184-centimeter shortstop who takes the starting job in his first professional season and gets handed the franchise's future is a specific kind of story, and Japanese baseball loves it. He later served as the Dragons' player representative, which tells you something about how the clubhouse saw him beyond the statistics. Then the harder chapter. Professional baseball is unsentimental about early promise, and Kyoda eventually left Nagoya for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars. I notice that fans often read a trade as a verdict, an ending. I read it differently. Choosing to rebuild your game somewhere new, after you have already tasted the version of yourself that everyone applauded, takes more nerve than the rookie season did. He is still in his early thirties. Shortstops have written second acts on less.
