Hitting
The book on Nishi is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. You can expect Taiowa Nishi to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.
Baserunning & Defense
Nishi is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat. When you play Nishi you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is accurate enough.
2025 Outlook
Nishi isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Taiowa to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball.
