After a year playing in Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball with the Hiroshima Carp, outfielder Nate Schierholtz is returning to the United States. With a minor league contract and an invitation to Spring Training, Schierholtz will have another opportunity to play as a Major Leaguer, this time with the Detroit Tigers.
Schierholtz began his professional career with the San Francisco Giants, as he was picked second round of the 2003 amateur draft by the Giants. He made his big league debut in 2007at the ripe age of 23 years old, and was thought of by many as the potential right fielder of the future.
