On this episode, Mark Simon was joined by former major leaguer and current Japanese baseball star Tyler Nevin, who won an NPB Fielding Bible Award for defensive excellence at first base.

Tyler talked about his overall experience in Japan (he loved it - he signed a 2-year contract extension with the Seibu Lions), and what it was like to be a former American player in a Japanese locker room.

He also told us the story of a one-of-a-kind defensive play and other unusual things he saw, and provided a scouting report of future MLB pitcher Tatsuya Imai, as well as one on Japan's best defensive player, 5-foot-2 Natsuo Takizawa.
