Yakult Swallows Players:
Tomohiro Jo Jo (Japanese character)
Though not known as an offensive threat, reserve outfielder Tomohiro Jo hit reasonably well in his 28 plate appearances, batting .318 with five walks and a .444 on base percentage.

He really doesn't have much power, though, and he's hit erratically in the past (.193 career batting average).

29-year-old Jo is of most use when the Swallows need a right-handed backup defensive outfielder.
