Output in context · Omiya Ardija finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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.

Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 0 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 32, Shimoguchi carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 73 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
