Fumiya Hojoh has been a valuable presence for the Hanshin Tigers since being drafted in the second round in 2012. After a stellar high school career at Kosei Gakuin, where he tied the Koshien RBI record, he made his NPB debut in 2015 and quickly became a key contributor. In 2016, he established himself as a regular starter, collecting 105 hits, 33 RBIs, and batting .273 over 122 games. He continued to shine in 2018, posting a career-high .322 batting average and further demonstrating his offensive potential.

One of Hojoh’s most memorable moments came during the 2019 Central League Climax Series, when he led a dramatic comeback with a three-run homer and a two-run triple, helping the Tigers secure a crucial victory. Known for his clutch hitting and strong work ethic, Hojoh has been a consistent team player and a reliable figure within the Hanshin organization.

The Hanshin Tigers baseball team is one of the most iconic and beloved teams in Japanese baseball. With a rich history and passionate fan base, the Tigers have become synonymous with the city of Osaka and hold a special place in the hearts of baseball enthusiasts.

Known for their distinctive black and gold uniforms, the Hanshin Tigers have a storied legacy dating back to their founding in 1935. The team has had its ups and downs over the years but has consistently showcased a strong roster of talented players and a never-give-up attitude.

Several notable Japanese players from the Hanshin Tigers, such as Shintaro Fujinami, Kenji Johjima, Tsuyoshi Shinjo, Keichi Yabu, Kei Igawa, and Kyuji Fujikawa, have successfully transitioned to the Major League Baseball (MLB), leaving an indelible mark on both leagues.
