Fumiya Hojo (北條 史也, Hōjō Fumiya, born July 29, 1994 in Sakai, Osaka) is a Japanese professional baseball infielder, playing for the Hanshin Tigers in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball.
Early baseball career
Hojo started playing baseball in 4th grade at elementary school, and joined the All-Sayama Boys baseball club when he started at Mikita Junior High School.[1]
He then entered Kosei Gakuin High School, a known baseball powerhouse in Aomori Prefecture.[1] On his sophomore year, he had the chance to play in the 2011 Summer Koshien, where he contributed 8 RBIs (highest in team history), helping his team make it all the way to the championship round. They finished as the runner-up however, when they were blanked by Nichidai-san High (11-0). During the Autumn Invitational Tournament of the same year, he batted at an average of 0.455, racked up 7 RBIs including a lone homerun, helping his team win the championship.
He was the Hanshin Tiger's 2nd round pick during the 2012 annual professional baseball draft. [2][3]。
