Although his batting average was in the 100s, he recorded 6 stolen bases and demonstrated his strong arm, showcasing his ability to contribute defensively and on the basepaths. His uniform number changed to 37 in the offseason. Before listing, there is a fake site using the name of Mercari shipping.
