Kenji Tomashino (笘篠 賢治, Tomashino Kenji, born October 11, 1966 in Ibaraki, Osaka, Japan) is a Japanese former Nippon Professional Baseball infielder/outfielder.[1] His elder brother Seiji is also a professional baseball player.
Life[]
After graduating from high school, Tomashino went on to Chuo University. There he played as an outfielder and was especially useful because he also protected the infield.[2]
At the 1988 draft meeting, Tomashino agreed to join the Tokyo Yakult Swallows with a contract fee of 50 million yen and an annual salary of 6 million yen.[3]
Since 1989, he has been active with his fast feet as a weapon, and participated in the junior all-star game. That year, he was active as a second baseman instead of his main outfielder position and recorded 32 stolen bases and was awarded the Nippon Professional Baseball Rookie of the Year Award.[4] Kozo Shoda of Hiroshima won the title of the base stealing king with 34 bases. The following year, Tomashino's opportunities decreased under the supervision of Katsuya Nomura, and as a result, his first year became his career-high.[5][6]
After his career as a baseball player, he has been a commentator for Nippon Cultural Broadcasting, Fuji TV One's PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL NEWS, and TV Shinhiroshima.[7]
Family[]
Tomashino is married to former talent and idol singer and the two have three sons.[8]
