What is yuji nishida vertical jump?
It's properly mental, his jump. The official number you see everywhere is his spike reach. That is listed as 350 cm.
Now, that's not just how high he jumps. It's the highest point his hand can get to when he is going for a spike. You have to remember, he is not a super tall player. He is about 186 cm, or just over 6 foot 1. For a volleyball player, especially an opposite hitter, that is not very big at all.
So to get his actual vertical jump, you take away his standing reach. We don't know his standing reach for sure, it's not a public number. But people work it out to be a jump of about 105 to 110 cm. That is over 40 inches.
To give you an idea, that is a proper NBA-level jump. It is the kind of jump you see from the best basketball players. But Nishida does it all the time, every game, on a hard volleyball court. It's this power and jump that makes him so special. He is a smaller player for his position. But he can hit over the top of massive blockers who are much taller.
He is just amazing to watch, isn't he? A real human pogo stick.
