 You got it!  Wednesdays player was none other than Hideo Nomo.  The man with the best windup, 3rd most MLB strikeouts of any Japanese player and owner of not one but two no-hitters with the Dodgers and Red Sox.

Its not Jeff Kent - he replaced Jeff Kent in SF 2. Began as a leadoff hitter, but moved to middle of the lineup later in his career
