Phillies Scout Japan's Teruaki Sato
Description
The Phillies are exploring the Asian talent pool, with a delegation traveling to Japan to scout left-handed outfielder and third baseman Teruaki Sato. Sato, a 27-year-old Central League MVP, boasts impressive power with 40 homers and a high OPS last season. Despite a high strikeout rate, he also has a decent walk rate and Gold Glove defense at third base. The Phillies could use him to fill potential holes left by Alec Bohm and Adolis Garcia, but his left-handedness might be a concern. Sato is expected to be posted this winter, but CBA negotiations could complicate the process.
