Naoya Washiya had to wait a little longer than expected before seeing his name in the MLB Draft.
He doesn't plan on having to wait too long before breaking into the big leagues.
The Hokkaido-born center fielder was drafted by the Washington Nationals in the 14th round of last month's MLB draft and has a plan to hone his skills in the minors and hopes to make his major league debut in 2 1/2 years or less.
