In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (50.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.79 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hashimoto.

Judged on this season alone, Hashimoto graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the J1 League, on 3 clean sheets and 3.787 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 17). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 41, Hashimoto carries the 22nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the J1 League of 54, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Albirex Niigata finished 20th 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 solid defensive volume (3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
