Biographical Information[edit]

Michael Restovich was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 2nd round of the 1997 amateur draft. He was signed by scout Joel Lepel and made his pro debut the next summer.

Restovich signed with the SoftBank Hawks for 2008 but only hit .223/.315/.330 with 3 homers in 112 AB. He spent much of the season in ni-gun and disagreed regularly with manager Sadaharu Oh, who Restovich felt was too much of a perfectionist. In September, he returned to his native Rochester, MN to visit his father, who was dying from cancer. Restovich said his father helped him see that baseball was not all that mattered before passing away.
