Moujirou Saitoh  
First Baseman | Cold Lake Mud Cats

Hitting
Saitoh has quick hands and is able to cover the entire plate. Saitoh was a line-drive hitter when he first came up, but over the last few years has become more of a true home-run hitter, lofting more high flyballs. He likes to pull the ball, but don't be surprised if he puts the ball the opposite field from time to time. He's a smart batter and takes good note of how the fielders are shading him.

Baserunning & Defense
He doesn't get good jumps on grounders, but his routes are fine and his hands aren't bad. His arm is accurate enough. Saitoh doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a handful of bases each season without getting caught very often.
