Why This Card Matters
Katsuya Kakunaka is the first player from Japan's independent leagues to win an NPB batting title, and he has done it twice — .312 in 2012 and .339 in 2016, with a Best Nine in both years. Chiba Lotte took him in the seventh round of the 2006 draft out of the Kochi Fighting Dogs, with no university career, making him one of NPB's best-known late-round success stories. He passed 1,300 career hits and hit .280 across 84 games in 2024. This is his base card in the 2024 Topps 206 NPB checklist.
