Right-hander Genei Sato, a third-year student at Sendai University in Japan, intends to transfer to a U.S. college in February 2026 to become eligible for the 2027 MLB Draft. The 21-year-old pitcher, seen as a potential first-round pick in Japan's 2026 NPB Draft, will play summer ball in the U.S. beforehand. This move follows a growing trend among Japanese amateurs seeking paths to Major League Baseball through NCAA programs.
