Biography: His father was his high school head baseball coach and his older brother also played there. Started playing baseball in first grade with a local youth team. Began pitching regularly in junior high. Became his high school team’s ace his junior year and also batted cleanup for them, cracking 32 homers for his schoolboy career. Was clocked at 88mph in high school. Drafted on the second round (2008). His first homer in the minors was a grand slam, but ultimately only batted .206 in Eastern League action in 2009 and he would crak just one dinger while committing 30 errors at third base. Fortunately, he improved markedly in 2010 and was promoted for a late season call up. Still a current player. Reference: Wikipedia Japan

Tried to get into prominent power Hotoku Gakuen High School, but failed the entrance exam. However, he was also put off by the strenuous practices of his Seniro League squad and notes that if he had gone into the touch Hotoku program he might have burned out on baseball. Played some outfield in high school in addition to shortstop and pitching. and became hsi team’s ace his senior year. Slugged 43 homers as a schoolboy. Drafted on the fifth round (2000).

Played on Japan’s 2009 WBC squad and batted .364 with a .516 OBP. He then opened the 2009 regular season by going homerless in his first 25 games. Is a first pitch fastball hitter and goes to all fields while also possessing excellent speed and a strong, if sometimes erratic, arm, though his range is less than what it should be. Reportedly learned to go to right when his coach got complaints from the tennis team about all the bombs he hit into the court behind the leftfield fence of his ballfield. Wears pink wrist bands and batting gloves. Made a Derek Jeter styole catch in a 2009 all star game when he dove into the crowd to catch a foul ball. Seven of his 2009 homers came against Rakuten. 100th homer (6/21/2009 against Yakult at Meiji Jingu Stadium in the first inning off of Masanori Ishikawa, a two run jack to left). 1000th hit (7/20/2010 against Softbank at Fukuoka Dome in the seventh inning off of Toshiya Sugiuchi, a single to right). Asked to be posted after the 2010 season, but was turned down. A major league scout, though, was reported to have called Nakajima “a Michael Young with more speed” and he has been praised by them for his baserunning smarts. Selected to six all star teams (2004, 2006-2010). Reference:  Wikipedia Japan

Biography: Drafted on the third round (1986). Cracked the last home run in Hankyu history before they were sold to Orix. It was also hall of fame pitcher Hisashi Yamada’s retirement game  (10/23/1988 at Nishinomiya Stadium, a three run jack). Caught one of junkballer Nobuyuki Hoshino’s slow curves with his barehand during a game. Nakajima had a cannon back then and fired a bullet back to Hoshino, craking up both benches. When The inning was over, Hoshino aired Nakajima out over it (9/20/1990). By the way, that didn’t stop Nakajima from pulling the same stunt in the bullpen during practice with Hoshino. When Atsuya Furuta was eligible for the player draft in 1989, he said he didn’t want to play with Orix because he didn’t believe he could surpass Nakajima’s defensive ability, especially his throwing. Nakajima was once clocked at 91mph in a speed throwing contest. Hit the first regular season homer in Nagano Olympic Stadium history (5/20/2000 against Orix off of Terry Bross in the second inning, a jack to left). Tried to lure an MLB team into signing him, but failed in that endeavor (1997). Was Daisuke Matsuzaka’s personal catcher his rookie year. Traded to Yokohama. Was a player-coach in 2007-2010 and often called pitches from the bench for fellow catcher Shinji Takahashi. . 1000th game (6/26/1999 against Daiei at Seibu Dome). Selected to six all star teams (1989-1991, 1995-1996, 1999). Is the only catcher in NPB history to have spanked a single in the Japan Series for three different teams. Married to former model Megumi Seino. Reference:  Wikipedia Japan
