Nakajima Hiroyuki Biography

Nakajima Hiroyuki is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on July 31, 1982 in Itami, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan.

Nakajima hit 43 home runs out of the leadoff spot in his high school career and took the mound as the team’s ace pitcher in his last two years, but his team never came particularly close to making a national tournament, losing in the fourth round of the Hyōgo Tournament in the last summer of Nakajima’s high school career. However, despite such relative anonymity, Nakajima was picked by the Seibu Lions in the fifth round of the 2000 NPB amateur draft. He was the 57th overall pick (out of 86 players) in that year’s draft.

Nakajima struggled mightily in his rookie season (2001). He recorded seven errors at shortstop, a position he rarely played in high school, and hit just .105 (2-for-19) in 30 games with the Lions’ nigun team (Japanese for “minor league” or “farm team”).

Although he has occasionally manned third base during his professional career, Nakajima’s primary position for the Lions was shortstop. While he has been known to be somewhat sloppy at times, particularly on the throwing end, he has made strides in his glovework and won the Golden Glove award at shortstop for the first time in 2008. One major league executive told Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports that Nakajima’s range at shortstop is average “at best”, and a different evaluator told Buster Olney of ESPN that he is not an everyday player.
