OF Yamato Takahashi (Arrowhead, 2025) stands at an athletic 5-foot-8, 165 pounds with a strong and sturdy upper and lower half. Takahashi ran a 7.18 60 yard dash and was quick to get to his top speed. He also showcased the ability to hit line drives to all fields with short compact hand path with exit velocities consistently in the upper 80s and a max distance of 319 feet. Takahashi is a polished baseball player and will be one to follow going into his sophomore season at Arrowhead.

Takahashi offered Team Wisconsin stability on defense from both the outfield and in the infield while at the Junior Future Games. His reliable defense makes him a useful, versatile prospect to follow, and he’s a competitive right-handed at-bat, too. Takahashi was responsible for the most timely hit of the week, a three-run triple that tied the game late against Team Texas
