Biographical Information

Pitcher Siraphop Nadee was only 18 years old when he debuted for the Thai national team in the 2010 Intercontinental Cup, allowing a run in one inning of work against Italy. He got Thailand's only win of the 2010 Asian Games, relieving Kamolphan Kanjanavisut with a 6-0 lead after two innings against Mongolia and tossing three shutout frames. He won Bronze in the 2011 Southeast Asian Games. He pitched twice in the 2013 World Baseball Classic Qualifiers with 4 runs (3 earned) on 2 hits and 5 walks in 3 1/3 IP, fanning four. He tied André Rienzo for the most walks in the Qualifiers.

Nadee was one of two Thai hurlers to pitch in all three of their games at the 2014 Asian Games. Despite 13 hits in 7 innings, he had a 7.71 ERA, well ahead of the team mark of 16.11; only Chanatip Thongbai had a lower ERA (he was the other hurler to pitch three games for Thailand). He also got Thailand's only win, over Hong Kong in relief of Kanjanavisut. He led Thailand with two wins and 11 IP in the 2018 East Asian Baseball Cup, beating Indonesia's Hadi Nur Muhammad and Hong Kong's Chi-Kam Kenneth Chiu. He had a 3.27 ERA for the Cup.

In the 2018 Asian Games, he started Thailand's opener, holding Laos to one hit (by Peun Silouanglath) and one walk (to Chinu Va) in three innings while fanning five; Adichat Wongvichit and Phanuwat Sukmuang completed the combined one-hitter. He got the last out against Sri Lanka, replacing Thongbai and retiring Lasantha Sanjeewa Manna Uthum Mudiyanselage to close a 14-3 victory. In the main round of the Games, he did not fare as well. He started against China and was lit up (9 H, 9 R, 8 ER in 3 IP) before Sakai Phraechai took over; Nadee took the loss against Quan Gan. Relieving Kevin Kawin Irwin in the 9th with a 4-1 deficit against Pakistan, he gave up 4 hits, 2 walks and 4 runs. He relieved Phraechai in the 6th against Hong Kong, with two on, no outs and a 4-3 lead; he gave up a game-tying single to Wing-Sing Li but then shut down Hong Kong the rest of the 6th, 7th and 8th. In the 9th, with the game still 4-4, he allowed a single to Kin-Chung Tsang and a double to Matthew Holliday to end the game, taking a loss. In their last game, he did not pitch, but took over in left field and went 2 for 4 with a run against host Indonesia. He tied Irwin, Nanda Dwi Saputra, Chung-Hei Leung, Haicheng Gong and Chindy Patria Yudharana for the most losses in the Games, while only Saputra and Gong allowed more hits than his 17. His 15.95 ERA in the main round was not far from Thailand's team mark of 13.25, though, and was the median mark on the staff.
