Yuhei Nanba

At 178 cm he's not going to tower over anyone on the field, but that kind of player usually compensates with sharp instincts and stubborn technique rather than raw power, and honestly that's often more fun to watch. He made three Koshien trips with Soshi Gakuen and spent five years in the Nippon-Ham organization without a first-team call-up, and now he coaches kids at a baseball academy. He's still only in his twenties, which means the most interesting chapter hasn't been written yet. I'll be watching.
