Clean sheets

4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 56.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21.5, Hashimoto carries the 41st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the J1 League of 49. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
