Clean sheets

2.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

  • Game time. Only 32.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.1, Hashimoto carries the 55th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 96. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
