My Take
There's something I instinctively like about a baseball player who comes out of Kitakyushu — that city has an industrial, no-nonsense edge to it, and I imagine it shapes you whether you want it to or not. Yūya Onaka, born January 1995, is 173cm, which in baseball terms means you're not winning anything with raw size, so as a pitcher you'd better have command and a smart game plan. He bounced from DeNA to Hanshin to Yakult before landing with the Samty corporate team, and honestly, the players who keep their heads down and grind through seasons nobody's filming are the ones I find myself rooting for hardest. Stay healthy, keep grinding. That's all I need from you, man.
