Seibu Lions Lions manager Fumiya Nishiguchi (53) stated on the 24th, "Nevin will be the only regular (next season)."
Nevin played in 137 games this season, leading the team with 141 hit 21 Home Run, 63 RBI, and a batting average of .277, leading the team in all areas, leading the team as a key player. He also became the fifth defense to win the Golden Glove Award in his first year in Japan since Ernesto Mejia in 2014, and the manager has complete confidence in him, saying, "We can rest assured. He was able to handle things like the pickoff in the trick play (June 12th against Hanshin Tigers), which an ordinary foreign player might not be able to do, but he's able to handle those kinds of things."
He was registered outfielder this season, but it has been decided that he will be registered as infielder next season. "I don't know who else first baseman. Nevin will be at first base." Nevin is the only regular at first base. Who will win the remaining nine spots, including the yet-to-be-decided opening pitcher?
