| Biography: Started playing baseball in third grade. Played in three Koshien Tournaments (summer 1992, spring, summer 1993). Drafted on the third round (1993). Tied an NPB record with five strikeouts in a game (6/14/1997). His five straight seasons leading the Pacific League second sackers in fielding percentage tied a circuit record. Named to Japan's olympic baseball squad at Athens (2004). Was named team captain in 2007 and backed that nomination up by batting .500 with 19 RBIs in bases loaded situations that season. His 2009 numbers were the biggest surprise in Japanese baseball that year and provokes suspicions as to whether he might have had some chemical help for a guy long known to be good field and no hit, but Japan's testing regime is stricter than MLB's and there has been no evidence presented that Kaneko did them. But he cut yhis homer ratio of one for every 81 at bats to 1:32.4 and he had a career high in doubles, total bases, BA, OBP, SLG and OPS, all at age 33. Either NPB is covering up steroid use by its Japanese players or Kaneko was just a miracle story. Make up your own mind. His seven straight games with a double is a pro yakyu record (4/7-4/15/2009). Moreover, he was only one of two men in history to do that for six games. 1000th game (4/16/2004 against Lotte at Tokyo Dome). Is married to former Asahi TV announcer Seika Shiragi. Selected to three all star teams (2002, 2004, 2009). Married to Asahi TV sportscaster Sayaka Shiraki. Reference: Wikipedia Japan |
