Naomichi Donoue?
I remember Naomichi Donoue being a very sought after draft pick last year and was wondering how he is progressing? I was sort of surprised that he did not get an at-bat this year with the Dragons.

He's only a first-year and a position player at that, it's not surprising that they're giving him time on the farm team.
His brother Takehiro hit .404/.435/.553 in 47 games on the farm team, so he was brought up. Naomichi hit a less impressive .217/.254/.332 on the farm, so I think they are giving him more time to develop. Honestly, Takehiro had a similar line last year (.250/.295/.338), so it's not an unreasonable way of thinking.

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
