Assessment Points
Overall Impressions
A well-rounded outfielder who attracted attention from professional scouts back in his university days.
A player with high practical ability, having recorded 105 hits in his university league career, winning the Young Lion Award (the industrial league version of Rookie of the Year) in 2025, his first year in the industrial league, and being selected for the Best Nine in 2025.

Batting Ability (Trajectory 2, Contact E40, Power C61)
In 2025, he had a stellar performance in 18 major tournament games with a .324 batting average (23/71), 3 home runs, and an OPS of .962 (Draft Report).
These values were chosen based on his 2026 performance, which was slightly more subdued, and the adjustment of his 'vs. Left-handed Pitcher' ability from F to E.
Physical Ability (Speed A80, Arm Strength B77)
With a 5.9-second 50m dash and a 110m long throw, his physical ability is top-tier.
I previously had his speed at B, but changed it to A based on footage of his base running and changes to special abilities.
Due to some throwing errors in 2026 and the official 2026 assessment, I removed 'Laser Beam' and 'Throwing C'.
Defensive Ability (Defense E48, Catching E46)
A player whose weapon is his offense and defense utilizing his speed and strong arm.
Since his back-pedaling technique seems to be rated higher than his catching technique, I reduced his catching by 5 and increased his defense by 5.
Defensive Aptitude (Non-main positions)
Although he wore jersey number 3 in high school, he has been exclusively an outfielder since university.
Pull Hitter
The power of his pulled hits when he connects is among the best in amateur baseball.
Aggressive Stealing
A player who will attempt to steal whenever there is an opening.
Because he had 2 stolen bases and 1 caught stealing in 2026, and because I increased his speed to A, his stealing ability was downgraded from C to D.
Strikeout
As an industrial league player with increased extra-base hits, his strikeouts have increased as a side effect; in the 2026 official games, he had 6 strikeouts in 15 at-bats over 4 games.
vs. Left-handed Pitcher E
Although there is a trend of improvement in 2026, he has struggled against left-handed pitchers throughout his career (Industrial League Stats) (University Stats).
Recovery E
Given the trends in Power Pros 2026, I think this will be an E.
