Hideo Nomo was designated for assignment today by the Kansas City Royals and it's likely that Nomo's professional career in North America is over. Nomo appeared in three games this season and had an ERA of 18.69.
Top draft pick Luke Hochevar was brought up to take Nomo's roster spot.
That's really too bad. Nomo-mania brings back really good memories of Dodger baseball for me. I loved the twisting windup delivery and devasting split. But really at this point, after another impressive comeback to make the roster, Nomo doesn't have anything left to prove.
