Nathan John Schierholtz, nicknamed "Nate the Great," is an American professional baseball outfielder for the Washington Nationals of Major League Baseball. He stands 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 215 pounds. Previously, he has played for the San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs. He bats left-handed and throws right-handed. After one year at Chabot College, Schierholtz was selected by the San Francisco Giants in the second round of the 2003 Major League Baseball Draft. He reached the Major Leagues in 2007 but did not make the Giants' roster full-time until 2009. In the meantime, he played for the 2008 USA Olympic Baseball Team, which won a bronze medal. In 2009 and 2010, he served mostly as a pinch hitter and defensive substitution, winning the World Series with the Giants in 2010. By May 2011, he had gotten everyday playing time in right field due to the benching of Pat Burrell; however, he would break his foot in August and miss the end of the season. He lost his right field job in 2012 and, after an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies as part of the deal that brought Hunter Pence to San Francisco.
