Sato is an infielder who bats left and throws right. Sato was drafted 1st by 4 teams in 2020 NPB draft and the Tigers won him. He has the best power in the team (even one of the top players within Japan) and hit over 20 home runs for 3 seasons in a row from his rookie year. He was the first in Japan Professional Baseball history to achieve this record as a player who bats left. He started his career as an outfielder (mainly right field), but he now mainly plays as a third base player. Some say that he will become a major league player in a few years, but please stay for the Tigers… (the HANSHIN Tigers, not Detroit)
