A tough season a few years ago made the Giants' Adam Walker contemplate walking away from baseball, but now he's running full steam ahead with Yomiuri.
The 196-centimeter outfielder had come to a crossroads, feeling more like a slug than a slugger when the 2019 season was all done. But his determination to finish his career on a high note motivated him to continue playing, and for the second consecutive season, he's contributing to a Yomiuri team that's scratching and clawing as it contends for a place in the Central League playoffs.
"I was almost done with baseball, but I kept going and had some good years, and I'm trying to build off of it. And now I'm here, trying to keep growing to see how good I can be. That's really the biggest thing," the 31-year-old recently told The Japan News.
