Part 6/10:
High Strikeout Rate: Murakami strikes out at an extremely high clip, with approximately 540 strikeouts since 2022 and ranking second in the league for total strikeouts.
Handling Velocity: As MLB pitchers throw faster and feature more varied pitches, there's concern whether Murakami’s swing can adjust properly.
Defensive Limitations: He is most suited for first base or designated hitter, given his limited defensive skills and error-prone nature at third base.
Projection Risks: His swing and miss tendencies could limit his effectiveness in MLB, especially against the toughest competition.
