Yuma Tongu (頓宮 裕真, Tongu Yuma, born November 17, 1996 in Bizen, Okayama Prefecture, Japan) is a Japanese professional baseball player for the Orix Buffaloes of Nippon Professional Baseball. He plays catcher and infielder, specifically on every infield position outside of shortstop.[1][2]
In elementary school, Tongu was friends and teammates with future Buffaloes teammate Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and at the time, Yamamoto also played catcher, so both played catch with each other.[3]
