Many MLB enthusiasts around the league might not be familiar with the name Chusei Mannami, but the young outfielder representing the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham fighters out of the NPB is making a name for himself in the world of baseball as he is seen throwing an absolute missile which resembled the likes of legendary Ichiro Suzuki.
Chusei Mannami is talented young superstar in the making in the NPB with offensive firepower and defensive flashes of brilliance. In this video, we see the Mannami throw a cannon back to the home plate as the third base runner is shockingly called out. For a challenging play like that to unfold, a deep right fielder to throw out a third base runner is easily one of the most beautiful plays in pro baseball.
This season for the Nippon-Ham fighters, Mannami has a .236 batting average with an OPS of .326. Could we see the likes of Chusei Mannami making his professional debut in the MLB any time soon? If he manages to continue this caliber of play, It's only a matter of time before someone picks him up.
