CJ Nitkowski
Is CJ still in Japan or what? He hasn't updated his blog in a month. I also can't find any stats on his being in any games lately.

According to his player page, he was dropped to ni-gun (the farm) on May 11 "for readjustment." What that generally means is that he was performing poorly and was sent down to work out his problems. It could also mean that another foreign player was given a chance and is performing better.

I don't get that. The guy has an ERA of 1.45!

OK. My next guess is his performance on May 11:
Hawks                 ERA   IP  BF  NP   H  HR   K  BBH  RA  ER
Nitkowski            1.80    1   9  44   1   0   1   5   2   1
But you're right. It does seem odd to drop him for a single poor performance (i.e. four walks and a hit batsman). There must be something else wrong that we're not seeing being reported. I'm in a conference today. I'll search news archives later when I have a chance.

Thanks for your concern. I am back! That bad game with the 4 walks and 1 hit batter was in mid April at Kitakyushu. My first time pitching in a local stadium and not adjusting well. I blogged it on my site cjbaseball.com and on MySpace.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
