| Biography: Slugged 31 homers in high school. Won an MVP in college. Drafted on the fifth round (2008). Played a lot of first base in the minors. Is a project behind the plate, though he is reputed to have a strong arm, but they are hoping he will develop into a bigtime power hitter. Still a current player. Reference: Wikipedia Japan |
