Timeline
Masahiro Nakatani (中谷 将大) is a Japanese former professional baseball outfielder and first baseman, and current the fielder's rehabilitation coach for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB).
He previously played in NPB for the Hanshin Tigers and the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks.
A native of Fukuoka, he began playing as a catcher for the Mikuni Honeys in grade school, then went on to join the Futsukaichi Lions in junior high where he got to participate in national tournaments.
Upon entering high school, he secured the outfielder post for the Fukuoka Koudai Joto High School.
He was elected as team captain in his second year, but his team never made it past the elimination rounds to summer Koshien.
He attended the same high school as fellow Tiger's teammate Ryutaro Umeno who was a year ahead, and like Umeno, he started as an outfielder and graduated as a catcher.
On August 23, he debuted in his 1st official game as the starting right fielder in the match against the Chunichi Dragons at the Kurashiki Muscat Stadium.
He appeared in 5 more games, but he failed to record a hit in any of them.
He finished the season in the minors, with a .225 batting average, 3 home runs and 27 RBIs.
Nakatani was selected as the Hanshin Tigers' 3rd round pick in the 2010 Nippon Professional Baseball draft.
He signed as a catcher on a contract of 50 million yen and an annual salary of 6 million.
He was given the jersey number 60.
In 2011, Nakatani played in 23 Western League games (minors) and batted .261 with 4 RBIs.
Because he played mostly as an outfielder and not as a catcher, they changed his training regimen from a catcher to an outfielder at the end of the season.
Nakatani spent most of the 2012 season playing in the minors.
He was selected to play in the mid-season Fresh All Star Game on July 18, and was selected as the game's MVP when he scored 2 hits and 3 RBIs.
In 2013, the Tigers officially changed Nakatani's position from catcher to outfielder.
He spent the entire season in the farm, and batted .201 in 100 games, with 31 RBIs and 2 home runs.
Nakatani also didn't appear in any main squad matches in this year, and batted his worst at .190 in 93 minor league games.
His home run count improved to 7.
Nakatani's improved performance in the minors early in the season finally earned him a spot in the main squad in a match against the Hiroshima Toyo Carp on May 8.
He recorded his first official hit as a pro on May 9, but when he went hitless in the next matches, he got sent back to the farm on May 15.
He continued to perform well in Western League games, and even got selected as the League MVP of the Month in July.
In all his 94-game appearances, he recorded an average of .290 with 9 home runs and 40 RBIs, and was named the Western League's MVP of the season.
Nakatani spent the earlier half of the 2016 season in the farm, where new batting coach and Tigers legend Masayuki Kakefu helped him undergo training to improve his batting form.
His efforts paid off when he got called to play with the main squad in June.
He recorded his first career RBI on June 19, and his first career home run a few days after.
His appearances gradually increased until October, mostly as a center fielder or as a pinch hitter, and he finished the season with 14 RBIs, 4 home runs and a batting average of .266 in 64 games.
Nakatani had a shaky start early in the 2017 season as he competed with young guns Shun Takayama and Fumihito Haraguchi for regular playing time in the outfield or at first base.
His breakout performance started in May when he went on a hitting spree and reached 5 home runs by the 3rd week.
He was rewarded by being assigned the clean up spot for the first time in a May 28 match against the Yokohama DeNA BayStars, and continued to be a regular starting player in the next couple of months.
He went 5-for-5 against the Saitama Seibu Lions on June 15, and recorded two hits and two RBIs including a two-run home run against Yomiuri on July 9.
This earned him the Sanspo Excellent Player Award for his performance during the Sanspo's Hanshin Tigers Gekirei Series (June 13 to July 12).
