Output in context · Kitakyushu finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
1.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 99.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.69 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 31.2, Yamawaki carries the 1st-highest potential of the full-backs in the J3 League (top 6%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Kitakyushu finished 14th 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 light defensive volume (1.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
