My Take
There's something about a kid from Ishigaki Island making it to pro baseball that just gets me. That's about as far as you can get from the mainland and still be in Japan, all turquoise water and brutal sun, and somehow this guy carried a fastball off that little island and out into the big leagues. At 184 centimeters he had the kind of frame that lets a pitcher throw down on hitters at a nasty angle, and I bet that height alone made him a pain to dig in against. Born in 1988, same fading edge of the Showa era as me, so I can't help feeling a weird kinship. He doesn't strike me as a guy chasing tabloid drama or flashy headlines. I picture him with the Okinawan sky behind him just stubbornly chasing that white ball, and honestly that's the type I find myself quietly rooting for.
