Kazuma Okamoto Blasts First Spring Homer, Set for Everyday Third Base Role

Kazuma Okamoto went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in the Toronto Blue Jays' Grapefruit League game against the Mets on Monday, launching his first long ball of the spring. The 29-year-old slugger will soon depart camp to join Team Japan for the WBC but is making a strong early impression. He is expected to fill a near-everyday role at third base during his inaugural MLB season.
