Yumeto Kanemaru

His given name, Yumeto, is written with the character for "dream." I can't read it without wondering what his parents were hoping for. Born in Kobe in 2003, he came up through Kansai University and now pitches for the Chunichi Dragons: two lines on a page that hide an unreasonable number of throws in empty ballparks. With young pitchers I've stopped caring about velocity first. What I want to know is whether the arm lasts, whether he is still walking out to a mound at thirty-three. Carrying "dream" in your name is a lot to live up to.
