My Take
Izuguchi's résumé reads like a straight line: Osaka Toin High School, then Aoyama Gakuin University, then the Yomiuri Giants as an infielder. What interests me is what that line costs. Osaka Toin pulls in the best teenagers in the country, and university ball is no gentler. Surviving both means years of waking up knowing the guy beside you wants your spot. Infielders rarely get the highlight reel; they get picked because a manager trusts their hands. That is a slower kind of career, built on being dependable rather than spectacular, and those are the ones I tend to bet on.
