Pick 50 players is a big job. Thank you.
Yanagita at #3 is ridiculous. He should be #30-40. Except for that l all agree.
Not an easy list to make at all but this is pretty much identical to what I'd have. If I'd change anything, it would be maybe only 1-2 spots but that's only a 'maybe'. It's so refreshing to see so much young talent on this list. So hyped for 2023!
Big thanks as always to @DarkMatter89 for not only the graphics but the music too!

As you can see, some of the player clips are subpar because 1) it’s difficult to find Central League highlights in HD, and 2) I need to crop it in a way that won’t get copyrighted. Hope you enjoy the video nonetheless!
The video ia over. Your voice is so smoothing.
Will you be making a video covering the Fighters new stadium?
Koyo Aoyagi is the Kazuhiro Wada of pitchers
What happened to okugawa
Did he get tommy john
Loved this video and getting to see some clips of each player as you went through it. It's a lot more fun to watch stats throughout the season when I have an idea of what the player's batting stance / pitching form looks like.
Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on Go Matsumoto? It looks like his resume pre-2022 is pretty underwhelming, but his 2022 looked great (at least with the surface-level stats like .830 OPS and 21 SB).
This will be a good primer to study for broadcasting this year lol, thanks chief.
where is Yasuhiro Ogawa
Okugawa?you missed
Ogawa is the best pitcher in Tokyo Yakult Swallows
Ooh, cheapshot at Aoyagi's hairline at #15! Haha
That Ryoma Nishikawa fella has a really strange swing, in every clip showed its like he chokes up and stops at the end, even on well hit balls.
