Nishioka's wikipedia entry
I haven't seen a lot of background on Nishioka so I went to Ol' Unreliable to see what it had to say. The two things that popped out to me was how young he was when he made the club and more worrisome, all the mentions of injuries over the years.

Maybe the grass will help with the injuries?
All the teams play on artificial turf in Japan, which can be harder on the bodies.
Also, it sounds like Nishioka is more disciplined about conditioning and training than he used to be. He had some poor years and was left off the Japanese World Baseball Classic team or something like that, which caused him to reconsider what he was doing. I also hear he’s been more focused since getting married last summer.
So who knows.
