My Take
Batting fourth for the Hanshin Tigers is one of the least forgiving jobs in Japanese sport. Hit, and it was expected; fail, and the entire loss belongs to you. Yusuke Oyama, a first-round pick out of Hakuoh University, took that seat and held it for years, boos included. Three All-Star selections, two Best Nine awards and a Japan Series title in 2023 leave very little room for argument. He is not the flashiest slugger in the league; his strength is turning up in the same spot every single season, year after year. A team does not get a spine like that by accident.
