Munenori Kawasaki
is a Japanese professional baseball shortstop and second baseman who is a free agent. Previously, he played for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks of Nippon Professional Baseball, and the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball (MLB).〔() "In Depth: Japan's Up-And-Coming Baseball Stars" - Forbes.〕 He played for the Japanese national team in the 2008 Beijing Olympics as well as the 2006〔() "Attention divided between WBC and NPB preseason" - The Japan Times.〕 and 2009 World Baseball Classics.
==Early life and high school career==
Kawasaki was born in Aira, a town in central Kagoshima Prefecture in the south of Japan. He began playing baseball after his older brother got him into the sport. Though he was a pitcher throughout his early years, Kawasaki switched to shortstop after enrolling in Kagoshima Prefectural Technical High School.
Kawasaki remained largely an unknown on the national level during his high school career, partly due to his team's failing to make any national tournaments in those three years. Still, he made a name for himself locally, earning the nickname Satsurō, a portmanteau derived from Satsuma (the name given to a former province of Japan in present-day western Kagoshima) and former Seattle Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki's first name for the similarities in their playing styles. He was drafted in the fourth round of the NPB amateur draft by the then-Fukuoka Daiei Hawks.
