Arm depth for Longwood, but still searching for consistency
In the 2025 season, Takahashi-Trader made 11 mound appearances for Longwood and posted a 0-1 record with a 17.00 ERA in 9.0 innings, so the raw results were rough, but he did miss bats with 8 strikeouts. His fastball-to-finish profile still hints at upside, especially if he tightens command after issuing 18 walks and allowing 19 runs in limited work. Longwood listed him as not seeing game action in 2026, so his immediate value looks more developmental than plug-and-play—worth a look if your staff can polish a live arm.
