Biographical Information

He collected his first homer against Micheal Nakamura on August 6, 2006, and he was the 4th player in NPB history whose first home run was an inside-the-park home run, following Shiro Takegami, Koichi Ogata and Tomochika Tsuboi. Mizuta was soon traded to the Chunichi Dragons for Ryota Arai after spending a year in the minors, and he was 2-for-15 in 2011. He was then released, and the Yakult Swallows signed him.
