Timeline

2014

He was the Hanshin Tigers' 1st round pick (3rd choice, after they lost Kohei Arihara and Yasuaki Yamasaki) in the 2014 annual professional draft. In November 26, he signed with the Tigers for a provisional contract of 100 million yen and 50 million signing bonus, for an annual salary of 15 million yen. He was assigned the jersey no. 15. With this, he became just the 2nd Tigers player to hail from Yamagata prefecture (since Shigeichi Aoki in 1978), and the 1st ever pitcher.

After pitching in the 21U World Cup in November 2014, he experienced tightness in his left arm and avoided any throwing exercises for the rest of the year. In January, he was diagnosed with inflammation in his left sternoclavicular joint, and only resumed pitching in early February. He pitched his first practice game against Orix on March 8, and gave up 2 runs on 3 hits over 2 innings of work, topping out at 148 km/h. On April 18, he started a Western League (minors) game against Hiroshima and tossed seven shutout innings, striking out 6. He started another on May 15 against the same team, where he gave up a run on 4 hits over 5 innings of work.

2013

Upon graduating high school, he joined Shin Nittetsu Sumikin Kashima to play for the industrial leagues. He became known for his cutting sliders and fastballs that maxed at 147 km/h, and was compared to Hanshin's Atsushi Nomi – a fellow lefty who also started his career at the industrial leagues under Osaka Gas. He also played for the national team in the 2014 21U Baseball World Cup, where he pitched a total of 10 innings in 3 games, and recorded 20 strikeouts, helping Japan finish second overall.

He debuted in his home turf on May 21 against the Giants, and pitched 7 solid innings – topping out at 149 km/h. He gave up 6 hits, struck out 6, and surrendered the game's lone run from Leslie Anderson's two-base hit on top of the 6th. The Tigers won that day when Toritani batted in the winning hit on the 8th inning.

2009

Born in Murayama City, Yūya started playing baseball in 2nd grade, and joined the Nakayama Municipal Junior High's baseball club when he entered middle school. During his sophomore year in Yamagata Central High School, he played as the team's ace pitcher in both spring and summer Koshien tournaments, but his school never made it past the first round. And even though he was often likened to Seibu's Yusei Kikuchi, a highly sought after pitching prodigy out of high school back in 2009, he did not receive any nominations from any of the 12 NPB teams in the 2011 draft.

1994

Yūya Yokoyama (横山 雄哉 , Yokoyama Yūya, born February 21, 1994 in Murayama, Yamagata) is a Japanese Nippon Professional Baseball pitcher for the Hanshin Tigers in Japan's Central League.
