The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball have signed outfielder Andrew Stevenson, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post.
Broadly speaking, he has served as a glove-first outfielder in that time. He has eight home runs in 489 plate appearances, batting .243/.316/.352 overall for a wRC+ of 80. His glovework has resulted in four Defensive Runs Saved, three Outs Above Average and a grade of 4.8 from Ultimate Zone Rating.
If he succeeds for the Fighters, that could perhaps lead to some more earnings in Japan and/or a return to North America down the line.
