Shinichi Kondō (近藤 真市, Kondō Shin'ichi, born September 8, 1968 in Ichinomiya, Aichi Prefecture) is a former Japanese professional baseball pitcher who played for the Chunichi Dragons in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball. He has been a pitching coach for the Dragons since 2003.
Kondō had a shortened career due to a consistent arm injury that forced him into early retirement.[1]
On 8 August 1987, Kondō became the first player in Japanese baseball history to throw a no-hitter on debut in a 6-0 victory over the Yomiuri Giants.[1][2]
He is the father of former Dragons outfielder, Hiroki Kondō.[3]
