Kazuma Okamoto makes strong play at third base

Sep 20, 2026 10:48 PM

As much praise Kazuma Okamoto has received for his bat, his defense has also been better than advertised.

When he came over from Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball, there were concerns that Okamoto wouldn't be able to be a serviceable defender at third base.

Okamoto has been a positive defender, with one defensive run saved on the season, and he made a strong play in the team's win against the Texas Rangers on Sunday.
