Biography: Became only third man ever to post a .300, 30 homers, 30 steals season (1953). Hit what was then the longest homer in Japanese history against the Daiei Stars (8/29/1953 at Heiwadai Stadium off of sidearmer Giichi Hayashi on a fastball that was up and on the inner half of the plate), a Mike Piazza style bazooka shot that cleared the second deck in leftcenter and went out on to the street behind the ballpark, estimated in excess of 520 feet. There is also a story told by Noboru Aota about a shot that Nakanishi unloaded at Kurume Stadium that just missed hitting the pitcher before it also completely left the ballpark (1954). Then there is another one where Nakanishi hit a low liner so hard at Tokyo Stadium that Mainichi Orions shortstop Masaaki Arimachi was hit in the knee before he could react and he had to be taken to the hospital. During that 1953 season, he hit more homers individually than the entire rosters of the Daiei Stars and the Kintetsu Pearls did. Slugged pinch hit grand slam against the St. Louis Cardinals at Osaka Stadium as a member of a Japanese all star team, a liner that went out to leftcenter  (11/4/1958). Don Blasingame was the second baseman on that team and when he became the manager of the Hanshin Tigers, he made Nakanishi his batting instructor. Aota once said that he would pay 10,000 yen a time just to watch Nakanishi take batting practice. From 1959, began suffering from a wrist problem. Selected to seven all star teams, batting .172 (5-29) with two homers and five RBIs in 13 games (1953-1955, 1957-1958, 1961, 1963). After retirement, he coached for Kintetsu, Yomiuri, Lotte and Orix and has acted a consultant with Yakult.
