On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, top 15% of the 61 centre-backs in the J3 League. At 22 Sugita is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 2.2 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Matsumoto Yamaga finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 26.3, Sugita carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League (top 15%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Matsumoto Yamaga finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
