| Biography: Oldest son of Akira Moritani. Started playing baseball in third grade as part of a local youth team.. Was a pitcher in junior high but moved to the outfield in high school. Slugged 34 homers as a schoolboy. Drafted on the third round (1997). Won three consecutive Western League steals titles (2000-2002). Released after the 2008 season. Reportedly has blinding speed and a strong arm, but his fly ball judgement is suspect and that has hindered his career. Has been worked out at second in the minors, but that didn't bear fruit.
