He can handle trick plays like the pickoff (in the game against Hanshin Tigers on June 12th), which an average foreign player might not be able to do, and he can handle those kinds of situations."

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."
