About Yuki Nishi

Yuki Nishi is a Japanese baseball player born on November 10, 1990, in the city of Kyoto. He is a right-handed pitcher who currently plays for the Orix Buffaloes in the Nippon Professional Baseball league.

Nishi began playing baseball at a young age and quickly showed promise as a pitcher. He attended Seiryo High School in Kanazawa, where he was scouted by the Orix Buffaloes and eventually signed with the team in 2009.

Nishi made his professional debut in 2010 and quickly established himself as one of the top pitchers in the league. He has a career record of 73-63 with a 3.41 ERA and 1,042 strikeouts in 1,146 innings pitched.

In 2014, Nishi was named to the NPB All-Star team for the first time and went on to win the Eiji Sawamura Award, which is given annually to the top pitcher in the league. He followed that up with another All-Star selection in 2015.

Nishi's success on the field has also earned him recognition off the field. In 2016, he was named one of the ambassadors for the Japan National Tourism Organization, helping to promote tourism in his home country.

Despite his success, Nishi remains humble and focused on improving his game. He is known for his work ethic and dedication to his craft, and is widely respected by his teammates and opponents alike.
