Kenichi Marumo
- ... that Kenichi Marumo scored a run for the Orix Buffaloes baseball team despite never holding a bat?

- Comment: This is mainly a translation from the corresponding Japanese article, but I have also expanded it a bit and added extra sources. As for the hook, the subject spent four years in the second-team "farm league", but only ever appeared in one first-team match. In that game he was used as a pinch runner and scored a run. He was then replaced with someone else before having a chance to field or bat himself. The technical term would be "despite never having a plate appearance", but I think "never holding a bat" sounds more "hooky". If it is too vague or misleading, I would love to hear other suggestions.
