Who is Hirotoshi Ishii?
Hirotoshi Ishii from Iwasaki, Ichihara, Chiba, Japan is a Japanese baseball player. He currently plays as a relief pitcher for the Tokyo Yakult Swallows.
He has repeatedly expressed a desire to play in the majors, and several teams have shown an interest in the left-hander. The Swallows were reluctant to release Ishii in the 2005 off-season, but promised they would allow him to come to the majors if he was able to play another full season in Japan. Ishii was expected to sign with a major league team during the 2006 off-season, but injured his left shoulder, and decided to remain with the Swallows.
He joined the Japanese olympic baseball team for the 2004 Summer Olympics, and won a bronze medal.
