Shigeru Kobayashi (小林 繁, Kobayashi Shigeru, November 14, 1952 – January 17, 2010) was a Japanese baseball pitcher.
He played for the Yomiuri Giants and the Hanshin Tigers of Nippon Professional Baseball. His trade to the Tigers gave the Giants Suguru Egawa, as he had been drafted by the Tigers, despite him signing with the Giants in secrecy. Kobayashi coached two other NPB teams, the Osaka Kintetsu Buffaloes and the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, and also spent a season in the Korea Baseball Organization as a coach for the SK Wyverns.
He died of heart failure in 2010 at the age of 57.[1]
