Head coach Tim Corbin on Muto: “Kaito is a special kid. His desire to get to Vanderbilt is a testament of his perseverance and his work ethic. Kaito is a well-rounded player who has middle infield skills with switch hitting abilities. He cares deeply for his teammates and because of that, he is well respected by everyone on the team. I like his future with us.”
