The day before new years was the day I was going to learn of the players I’m going to be able to pick.
I got the list via e-mail from the commissioner; it listed everything about them, their scouting reports, a short bio, their personality, etc.
“Jack, and Steven, these are the fielders you can pick up, go crazy.
Catchers:
Rikiya Terauchi AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 18, N/A, S/R, 2, D, D, D, A, A, A Bio: This kid knows his stuff. He knows the strike zone like the back of his hand. He graduated from Andromeda High, so he wears an eye piece that helps him with hot zones, and the strike zone. Not much of a hitter, but makes up for it with his fielding. Personality: A quiet guy who speaks when needed.
Shuuji Arime AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 18, N/A, R/R, 2, A, D, A, B, A, A Bio: The best catcher available. He hits for contact, can steal bases, and is fantastic in the field. Personality: An outgoing, humble kid, who knows his stuff.
Jun Kaga AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 22, N/A, R/R, D, F, E, C, E, E Bio: Not known for anything except his arm, and being exceptionally smart. Personality: Quiet, smart.
Masato Kurihara AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 18, 1B, R/R, 4, C, S (100!), A, C, D, C Bio: Honestly, he is a first baseman. But he is listed as a catcher in the books. He prefers to play first. He is probably one of the greatest power hitters to ever set foot on the diamond. And will almost always come through in the clutch. Personality: Outgoing, funny, and is always willing to go the extra mile.
Akitaka Shimozono AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 18, 1B/OF, L/R, 2, E, E, B, A, B, E Bio: He graduated in the same class as Terauchi in Andromeda high. He was converted to an outfielder so he would get some playing time. He was the starting right fielder, he is a great fielder, but makes his fair share of errors. He’s one hell of a bunter. Personality: One of the nicest kids, he always will be there to help out a teammate.
Daichi Suzuki AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 18, N/A, L/R, 3, C, C, D, E, D, D Bio: He is known more for his bat then his fielding. He would suffice as a pinch hitter. Personality: Serious about baseball, but knows how to have fun.
First Basemen:
Shou Toyoda AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 27, N/A, L/L, 3, B, A, F, D, F, E Bio: He has been in the Majors for 10 years, and has proved to be a feared hitter. Both contact, and power wise. Personality: Kind, but quick-tempered.
Daisuke Yagi AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 18, N/A, S/R, 2, A, D, B, D, B, C Bio: He can hit, and hit, and hit, and hit. He is also a pretty good base stealer, and fielder. A well-rounded player. Personality: Nice, and quiet.
Takuya Kanazawa AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 18, N/A, R/R, 3, C, A, D, E, E, E Bio: He and Kurihara have been friendly-rivals since Junior High. They both have the power to knock it out. Kanazawa though isn’t as good as Kurihara, and he knows it. Personality: Has somewhat of a inferiority complex, but still plays to 100%
Second Basemen:
Shun Tohno AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 18, 1B, L/R, 3, C, B, E, E, E, E Bio: He can hit one out, but he can’t field for his life. He was known as Mr. Clutch in High School since he hit a pinch-hit-walk-off-3-run homerun against one of the best pitchers in the Koshien. He is more suited to first, than second. Personality: A loud, brash kid. But he is nice.
Hideo Nomoto AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 29, SS, R/R, 2, D, E, D, B, B, B Bio: Pretty much the opposite of Tohno. He is a fantastic fielder, and has been showing that all 12 years he’s been in the Majors. Never one to shy away from a dive, and always giving it his all. He has poor eyesight, and needs to wear glasses, which is thought to be why he isn’t that great of a hitter, since he can’t pick up the seams and rotation of the ball. Personality: A leader. He knows his stuff, and would be a perfect captain.
Ken Wakui AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 19, N/A, R/R, 2, E, F, E, D, C, E Bio: Nothing to write home about. He is an average fielder at best, and a terrible hitter. Personality: Reserved, quiet.
Takara Okazaki AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 20, SS, S/R, 1, C, E, E, C, B, D Bio: He was known for his contact and fielding especially, in college. Other then that unspectacular. Be he knows his way around the middle infield. Personality: Reserved, but always speaks the truth.
Shortstops:
Taiga Kura AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 18, 2B, L/R, 3, B, C, C, C, C, D Bio: Very popular in school. But that isn’t all; he’s a fantastic well-rounded player. Always batted 3rd in high school, right in front of Kanazawa. Personality: Typical “pretty boy” but always is kind to his teammates.
Mikihiko Shimazaki AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 22, N/A, L/R, 4, C, A, C, C, C, E Bio: A fantastic hitter, and average at everything else. Has the power to knock out 30 or 40 homeruns in a year. Personality: Very confident in his abilities, but is always is very hard on himself.
Ken Naitoh AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 32, DH, L/R, 2, D, A, F, F, F, F Bio: One of he best hitters in his day, but age is catching up to him. He has been playing in the Majors for 11 years. Personality: A very good leader, and is always good with his infield.
Takumi Nakahigashi AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 29, 2B/3B, L/R, 1, E, E, E, A, A, B Bio: He will make the play no matter what, a fantastic utility player who can play the infield with the exception of first base. He is not much of a hitter, but more than makes up for it with his fielding. He got his start in the Majors late, and has been making everything that he can out of it, only being up here for 5 years at 29. Personality: A nice guy, but quiet.
Third Basemen:
Daisuke Fukuchi AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 18, N/A, S/R, 3, C, D, C, B, B, B Bio: The true definition of a slap hitter. When batting from the left side he can hit to all fields exceptionally well, and from the right side he is good at pulling the ball out of the park. He too, graduated from Andromeda High, wearing the eye piece. He is a good 5-tool player. Personality: Quiet, and speaks only when needed.
Ken Kamei AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 18, N/A, R/R, 3, C, B, C, D, D, D Bio: He is a power hitter, somewhat. He thinks he is. Though, don’t get me wrong, he has the power to hit it out of the park. But only maybe 20 homeruns are possible. Personality: Loud, and confident.
Outfielders:
Yoshitsugu Sugiya AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 18, N/A, L/L, 2, C, C, C, D, C, C Bio: He is average at everything. Known for his crazy hair, and even crazier batting stance. Personality: Off-the-wall, but kind-hearted.
Yoshi AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 18, 1B/SS, L/R, 2, D, F, A, D, C, D Bio: He is an incredibly fast kid, and only goes by his given name. He plays a mean center, but can play short and first as well. A decent fielder, but speed is his primary asset. Personality: Quiet, but very much liked. Kind to all.
Goro Shigeno AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 34, N/A, R/R, 3, B, B, C, A, C, C Bio: Goro has been through it all. And I mean it ALL. He lost his mother at age 2, then his father died from being hit in the head by a 162 km/h (100 mph) fastball to the head at age 5. He broke his right shoulder when he was 9, but then converted to throwing left-handed. He was a pitcher up until this year, actually. He played in the MLB, throwing up to 165 km/h (103 mph)! But he dislocated his shoulder, and was forced to retire after 14 years. Not willing to leave baseball he trained rigorously for 2 years, and came back to play in the NPB (for the first time as he went to the MLB at age 18). He is now a Left-fielder and throws right-handed again. Personality: The biggest baseball fanatic ever. Ever. He would never give up, no matter what. He is good in the clutch, and also will fire up the team when needed.
Yuuta Tanaka AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 33, N/A, R/R, 4, F, B, E, F, C, D Bio: He is a very good power hitter, but can’t hit consistently. Personality: A nice, humble fellow.
Ikuya Suzuki AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 20, N/A, R/R, 2, B, D, F, C, C, E Bio: A good contact hitter with a decent arm, and a decent glove. Personality: A very funny, outgoing guy.
Tadahiko Fujita AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 28, N/A, R/R, 2, C, C, F, E, D, E Bio: He used to be one of the best hitters in the NPB, but an injury ruined it. He has been playing for 11 years. Personality: Well respected, nice.
Touya Egawa AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 18, N/A, R/R, 3, B, C, A, C, D, E Bio: More focused on the offensive half of baseball then the defensive half, Egawa is a fine player. He can hit homeruns, hit for average, and steal bases. Personality: Quiet, kind
Tsuyoshi Matsunaga AGE, 2ND POSTION, B/T, TRJ, CON, POW, RUN, ARM, FLD, E RES 18, N/A, L/L, 3, C, C, A, D, D, D Bio: A fantastic leadoff guy. He has been hitting leadoff almost all of his life. He can steal bases like crazy. And is a good hitter too. Not much of a fielder, but eh. Personality: Outgoing, quick-witted.
