Oshirou Itakura  
Center Fielder | Owen Sound Crusaders

Hitting
The Owen Sound Crusaders do tend to sit Itakura when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball. He rarely pulls pitches, preferring to shoot line drives to left-center.

Baserunning & Defense
Itakura isn't a fluid center fielder, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His arm is accurate enough. Itakura is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat.

2025 Outlook
The Owen Sound Crusaders signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Itakura like a hot potato if something better comes along.
