NORI AOKI AS ARYA STARK
Both Nori Aoki and Arya Stark may be diminutive in size and have an unassuming presence, but both are fierce competitors. Aoki fights to get on base and Arya to stay alive. You don’t want to under-estimate either one.
Arya Stark uses her wiles and finesse to survive, while Nori Aoki will never be known for his raw power either. Aoki likes to slap the ball to the opposite field and rarely swings for the fences. He uses speed and a honed skill set to get on base on a regular basis (.354 career On Base Percentage).
Stark has wits galore, and is pretty nimble. She can also handle herself well with blade, as can Aoki with a bat. Both are building legions of fans, although Stark does not have the Aoki Dokies (@AokiDokies on twitter) like the Royals right fielder does.
These things all make Nori Aoki our Arya Stark.
