1996 BBM top 10 hitters/pitchers

1996 BBM top 10 hitters/pitchers
I came across some 1996 BBM cards that are titled Top 10 hitters selected by Isao Harimoto. I saw cards of Kiyohara, Nomura (Carp), and Etoh. Also I believe there exist a set of cards titled Top 10 pitchers selected by Inao (former Nishitetsu).

Any idea who the rest of the selections were?

Anything baseball card related I always refer to Rob Fitts (aka Ochiai-san) at robsjapanesecards.com. Rob, are you lurking here?
