The KIA Tigers feel the vacancy of ‘captain’ Kim Sun-bin keenly. Even Kim Gyu-seong, an “Australian student studying abroad” who was picked as a replacement for Kim Sun-bin, who left due to a hamstring injury, was eventually eliminated from the first team entry after making a series of defensive mistakes. Attention is focusing on whether infielder Byun Woo-hyuk will return to the first team while looking for another second baseman alternative.

KIA canceled infielder Kim Kyu-seong from the first team entry on August 14th.

After including the opening entry, Kim Gyu-seong played the role of back-up in the infield without canceling the first team once. Kim Kyu-seong took over as second baseman in place of Kim Sun-bin, who recently left due to a hamstring injury, but he created anxiety by shaking in an important defense.

The biggest decisive blow was a defensive mistake against the Lotte Giants on the 13th. At the end of the third inning, Kim Gyu-seong allowed the first run, missing Lee Jung-hoon’s double-headed hit in the crisis of 1st and 2nd base. The KIA bench immediately replaced Kim Kyu-seong with Choi Jeong-yong. In fact, it was a decision to replace with responsibility.

KIA starting pitcher Mario Sanchez was greatly shaken starting with Kim Kyu-seong’s mistake. In the end, Sanchez, who was hit by a sweeping timely hit from the bases loaded crisis that followed, recorded 7 hits, 7 strikeouts and 5 runs in 5 innings that day. Out of 5 runs, only 1 earned run.

KIA was unable to reverse the atmosphere given by allowing a five-point big inning at the end of the third inning. KIA, which was completely defeated 1-6, collapsed again with a win rate of 50% with 45 wins, 2 draws and 46 losses in the season, and was chased by 7th place Lotte Giants by 1.5 games.

Kim Gyu-sung joined Geelong Korea last winter and showed a picture of his growth, receiving great expectations ahead of this season. However, Kim Kyu-sung played in 69 games this season and had a batting average of 0.219 / 21 hits / 1 home run / 8 RBIs / 4 stolen bases / on-base percentage of 0.279 / slugging percentage of 0.302. In addition, he recently showed a scene of self-destruction due to a series of defensive mistakes in the opportunity to jump to second baseman.

Without infield stabilization, KIA’s challenge to the top 5 is difficult, and defense concerns continue between 1st and 2nd base

No matter how impressive his batting ability is, if a scene like the defensive mistake of the game on the 13th comes out, it is difficult for that player to survive properly in the first team. The KIA bench is also expected to be in trouble over the second baseman and first baseman positions, which are relatively loose compared to the third baseman and shortstop positions.먹튀검증

It will take another week or so before Kim Sun-bin returns. In the meantime, not only the second baseman, but also the first baseman’s defense needs to be stabilized. While Hong Jong-pyo and Choi Jeong-yong are likely to get a chance to play second base for the time being, attention is focusing on whether Byun Woo-hyeok, who has improved his game sense in the Futures League, will replace Kim Kyu-seong.

Byun Woo-hyuk, who had recently dropped out of the first team entry due to infection with Corona 19 and focused on recovery, returned to Sangmu on August 11 and recorded 1 hit in 4 at-bats. In the match against Sangmu on the 12th, Byun Woo-hyeok continued his streak of hits in 2 consecutive games with 1 hit (double base) and 1 point in 4 at-bats.

If Byun Woo-hyuk returns to the first team and takes over the defense of the first baseman, he can expect stabilization of the infield. And if Kim Sun-bin returns in the future, it is expected to wash away some of the defensive anxiety between 1st and 2nd base.

Above all, KIA will meet 10th place Kiwoom Heroes and 9th place Samsung Lions in a row this week. As we have to accumulate as many wins as possible against lower-ranking teams, we must avoid situations in which defensive mistakes give the game a futile atmosphere. Indeed, it is noteworthy what decision the KIA bench will make regarding the operation of the first-team fielder entry.

Tottenham is already keenly aware of the vacancy of Harry Kane (30, Bayern Munich).

Tottenham drew 2-2 with Brentford in the ‘2023-2024 Premier League Opening Game’ held at G-Tech Community Stadium in London, England at 10:00 pm (Korean time) on the 13th. Tottenham, who are aiming for the Big 4, started the season with a creak, feeling the absence of Kane.

It was Son Heung-min’s first match as captain after the transfer of Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris. Postecoglu’s league debut also attracted attention. However, Son Heung-min played only 75 minutes before being substituted. In the 26th minute of the first half, he showed a disappointing appearance, such as giving Brentford an excuse to tie the penalty.

In the place where Kane was missing, Richarlison took the lead. Son Heung-min, James Madison, and Dejan Kulusevski attacked in the second line. The key was how well Richarlison could fill Kane’s void.

Coincidentally, Tottenham’s defenders scored two goals while the attacking team stopped scoring. Playmaker Madison assisted both goals with sharp passes. From Tottenham’s first goal, Madison’s assist shone. In the 10th minute of the first half, Madison fired a sharp free kick from the left, and Romero ran in and finished it with his head.

Unfortunately, Son Heung-min gave the excuse for the equalizer. In the 22nd minute of the first half, Son Heung-min touched Jensen’s ankle while defending in the box, and a penalty kick was declared after a video review (VAR). Mpemo, who started as a kicker, tricked the goalkeeper and scored the equalizer.스포츠토토

Emerson’s equalizer in the 49th minute of the second half was also helped by Madison. Attackers such as Richarlison and Son Heung-min failed to properly fill the void left by Harry Kane. Tottenham was able to avoid the danger of defeat as the defenders scored goals thanks to Madison’s sharp toes.

Madison’s performance is impressive, but the sluggishness of Tottenham’s attack remains a homework. In particular, Richarlison gave a great disappointment by firing a mediocre shot at the winning goal chance at the end of the second half.

After the match, the British media ‘Mirror’ said, “Richallison scored only one goal in the Premier League last season. It’s understandable why Tottenham fans aren’t convinced that Richarlison is the player to follow in Kane’s footsteps. Postecoglu started the Brazilian, but he was quiet throughout the first half. In the second half, he shot more vigorously, but the opposing team’s goalkeeper blocked the shot well. That was all.”

Regarding Richarlison’s performance, Postecoglu said, “I worked hard today, but I couldn’t use him enough. He had a few chances but he was able to create more. Our point is to support him. He is a striker and will always work hard for the team.”

Harry Kane is a legend who won the top scorer by scoring 30 goals in his heyday. As Tottenham’s top scorer is missing, the entire Tottenham attack is shaking. The Kane-Son Heung-min duo, who jointly scored the most goals in Premier League history, was also disbanded. Without Kane, Son Heung-min has become a difficult environment to exert his power as before. It is the time when Richarlison needs to exert himself.

After winning the men’s title at the 2023 Gumi Dodram Cup Professional Volleyball Tournament, OK Financial Group head coach Masashi Ogino cited a horizontal team culture as the key to the victory.

OK Financial, led by Japanese coach Ogino, won 3-1 (25-23 22-25 25-23 25-20) against Samsung Fire in the men’s final of the 2023 Gumi Dodram Cup Professional Volleyball Tournament at Park Jung-hee Gymnasium in Gumi, Gyeongbuk, on Nov. 13.메이저사이트

OK Finance reached the top of the Cup for the first time since its inception in 2013. After reaching the Kobo Cup finals in 2015, 2019 and 2021, but finishing as runners-up, OK Financial enjoyed its first title.

Coach Ogino, who took over in June, showed off his leadership skills by winning the title within two months. Ogino said he did not aim to win the tournament. “I didn’t think about winning or not winning,” he said in a post-match interview. It was more about participating in an official match,” he said. “I played five official matches in my first two months in charge. It was five good test matches.”

When asked what changes he made at OK Finance that led to the win, Ogino cited a change in culture within the team as one of the factors. “I told the players not to call me ‘boss’,” he said. “We’ve made sure that the coaches, managers, and players have a friendly relationship, not a hierarchy,” he said. “Whether it’s a game or a meal, we’ve made sure that the managers, staff, and players mix.

Another change is that coaches can coach players without being watched. “If the coaches don’t speak up, we’re giving them the opportunity to say what they’re thinking,” Ogino said. “Then the players listen to the coaches, and the coaches have confidence in them, and that creates a trusting relationship, and we’re having fun with that.”

Despite winning the Kobo Cup, Ogino believes the V-League will be different when it starts in October. That’s because the other teams will have their strongest squads. “I think the Kobo Cup and the V-League are completely different,” Ogino said. The V-League is twice a week, the schedule is tough, and there can be injuries,” he said. “In a long race, you need multiple players to play, so we don’t divide the team into first and second teams, but we try to build the team by practicing the same and improving the team’s skills from the bottom.”

How to utilize Shin, the tournament’s Most Valuable Player, will also be key. Leo could play the position that Shin played in the tournament, which is the position of an aggressive spiker. “I’m thinking about it because Leo hasn’t joined us yet. “I haven’t seen him play,” he said, “I heard that he’s the best foreign player in Korea, but I’ll make a team based on what level he’s at. It’s different to watch a video and see him in person.”

Namyangju Hanbyeol Middle School Hyeon-jun won the gold medal by setting a new record in the men’s middle school 50m breaststroke at the 42nd President’s Cup National Swimming Championships.

On the first day of the competition held at Wansan Swimming Pool in Jeonju, Jeonbuk on the 12th, Hyeon-jun set a new competition record (previously 29.75) with a time of 29.22 in the south-central 50m breaststroke final, along with Oh Ji-hoon (Gyeonggi Air Swim, 31.33 seconds) and Um Ji-hoo (Dongincheon Middle School, 31.58 seconds). ) and took the hegemony.

Can we no longer see the ‘Kang In-mar (Lee Kang-in and Neymar)’ combination that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) introduced in Korea in early August? The transfer of Neymar (31) is getting closer.

Reporter Fabrizio Romano, who is familiar with the European football transfer market, said on his social media (SNS) on the 13th, “Al-Hilal (Saudi Arabia) has made an important offer to Neymar in the last few hours. Sources described it as a ‘tremendous offer’. “Neymar is also considering an offer,” he said.

On the same day, RMC Sport also said, “Neymar is close to going to Saudi Arabia. The agreement between the clubs has been completed, and the player has also accepted the trip to Saudi Arabia.”

Neymar, who left FC Barcelona (Spain) for a transfer fee of 222 million euros (approximately 323.6 billion won) in 2017 and wore a PSG uniform, played 173 games, scoring 118 goals and 77 assists.

The problem is the number of entries. Neymar has been plagued by a series of injuries not only from rough tackles in French Ligue 1, but also from opponent checks in major national championships. Neymar played 186 games in 4 seasons at Barcelona, ​​but played 173 games in 6 seasons at PSG. His minutes played per game are also lower than in his time at Barcelona. In particular, Neymar has never played more than 30 games in the league since his PSG entry. His most record was 22 games played in the league in the last 2021-22 season.

Although it showed excellent attack point production, it is difficult to overestimate the fact that it was a league 1 with relatively low competition. In the 2022-23 season, he started the season without injury, raising expectations by scoring 7 goals and 6 assists in the first 5 league games, but ended the season early due to an ankle injury in February. The European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) also failed to play a big role.

After the 2022-23 season, PSG parted ways with coach Christophe Galtier and left the helm to coach Luis Enrique, starting a new plan. Young blood was transfused into the somewhat less creative midfield, and especially Lee Kang-in joined the team, raising expectations. However, the conflict with Kylian Mbappe, who was named in the transfer rumor, was a problem. Mbappe has officially announced that he will not sign an extension contract with the club ahead of the summer transfer window.

PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi even said in public when Enrique took office, “If you want to play for PSG, you have to sign a new contract,” but nothing has changed. PSG even put a river in the pre-season Asian tour excluding Mbappe.

However, during the pre-season, PSG clearly felt the absence of a forward striker. Coach Enrique’s unique pass football was confirmed, but the attackers, who lacked a sense of weight, swallowed regret. It was Neymar who filled that void. Initially expected to be able to return only in September, Neymar started and played full-time in a friendly match against Jeonbuk Hyundai on the 3rd, recording 2 goals and 1 assist. Following his unique skill, he cut Jeonbuk’s net with a quick shot, drawing cheers from domestic fans.먹튀검증

For PSG, Neymar’s revival is welcome. However, rumors of a breakup came out ahead of the season. On the 8th, L’Equipe said, “Neymar informed Chairman Al Khelaifi of his intention to leave,” and said, “His goal is to return to Barcelona.”

A day later, RMC Sport said, “Neymar and Marco Verratti did not attend the PSG media day prepared for the official French Ligue 1 photo shoot.” At the time, there was news that he was not called up due to injury.

Neymar was also excluded from the call-up list ahead of the opening game against Lorient on the 13th. Local media explained that he was affected by a cold and an injury. However, after the game that day, rumors of Neymar’s transfer came out once again, and the atmosphere seems to be leaning toward a breakup.

Meanwhile, PSG without Neymar and Mbafe drew 0-0 without scoring in the home opening game against Lorient. Lee Kang-in started as a right winger and showed off his presence. In particular, his unique dribbling was also successful three times. However, he was unable to score goals with his fellow players, Gonzalo Hamus and Marco Asensio. PSG recorded over 1000 passes, but in the end there was no ‘solver’.

 Cristiano Ronaldo led Al Nasr to the championship by scoring two goals despite being outnumbered.

Al-Nasr beat Al-Hilal 2-1 after extra time in the final of the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup held at King Fahd Stadium in Taif, Saudi Arabia on the 13th (Korean time). With the victory that day, Al Nasr and Ronaldo embraced their first trophy after being together.

The Arab Club Champions Cup is a competition for club teams from the Middle East and Africa. This year, 37 teams, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Morocco, and Algeria, competed for the top spot.

It was Al-Hilal who took the initiative. In the 9th minute of the second half, Malcolm’s cross was hit by Michael’s head. Bad news befell Al Nasr, who conceded a goal in advance. In the 26th minute of the second half, when pursuit was desperately needed, Abdullerah Al-Amri was sent off due to accumulated warnings, putting the team outnumbered.메이저놀이터

At a time when defeat was deepening, Ronaldo showed the appearance of a solver. In the 29th minute of the second half, Ronaldo, who was flooding the ball from the right side, pushed it in and balanced it. It was Ronaldo’s five consecutive goals in the tournament.

The balance of 1-1 continued. Both teams couldn’t decide a winner within regular time and went into overtime. Ronaldo roared once again. In the 7th minute of the first half of extra time, Seco Popana’s shot hit the post. Ronaldo, who was in front of the goal, scored a come-from-behind goal with a header thrown by himself.

There was no additional goal after that, and Ronaldo’s goal became the winning goal. Al Nasr lifted his first trophy since joining Ronaldo in January. Ronaldo, who played 115 minutes until extra time, enjoyed double joy by becoming the top scorer of the tournament with six goals.

Al Nasr, who won the Arab Club Champions Cup, will play the opening game of the 2023-24 season Saudi Professional League against Al Etifaq at 3:00 on the 15th.

I was angry, but I held it in. I thought it was because ‘quickly’ is not Korea, which I am familiar with, but ‘Canada’. Still, this was too much. The Korean women’s national baseball team, which competed in the qualifiers for the ‘2024 Women’s Baseball World Cup’, is suffering from poor administration by the World Baseball Softball Association (WBSC), the organizing committee of the tournament.

There were a lot of problems from the game referee. On the 11th (Korean time), in the top of the 4th inning when they were losing 1-5 against Australia, lead batter Park So-yeon went on base with a clean left-handed hit. A stepping stone was prepared for the national team to follow the score. When Joo Eun-jung was at bat, Park So-yeon attempted to steal second base. Park So-yeon, who seemed to be safe at second base with her sliding body. But the verdict is out.

For a moment, everyone was perplexed. Park So-yeon strongly insisted that it was ‘safe’, but the judgment was not overturned. He collapsed and couldn’t get up from second base for a while.

A false referee ruling a safe out can happen enough in a baseball game. It often appears in the KBO League as well as in the American Major League (MLB). But this time the case was a little different. That’s because it was a ‘triple system’.

The moment Park So-yeon slid head-first, there was no referee at second base. Seeing Park So-yeon stealing base, the referee from third base hurriedly ran to second base. Ellis Lalement (Canada), who was the third base referee in the game that day, rushed to second base, leaving only questions about how accurately he judged the scene.

The qualifiers for the 2024 Women’s Baseball World Cup, which is being held in Thunder Bay, Canada, are being played in a ‘three-sim system’. There is no video reading, of course.

However, not all international women’s baseball tournaments are like this. In the ‘2023 Women’s Baseball Asian Cup (BFA)’ held in Hong Kong at the end of May, it was a ‘4-sim system’. The referee, 1st base umpire, 2nd base umpire, and 3rd base umpire were put together to play the game. Even in the regional qualifiers, which are one level lower than the ‘Women’s Baseball World Cup’, the game was played with a ‘4-sim system’, but in the world tournament, it is a ‘3-sim system’.

Hwang Jeong-hee, president of the Korea Women’s Baseball Federation (WBAK), who came to Canada with a team, denounced, saying, “The efforts of the players who practiced hard and sweat are in vain for each such absurd decision.”먹튀검증

In fact, in the game against Hong Kong, several national team players who turned to looking and striking out at the referee’s inconsistent ‘strike call’ cried endlessly after the match when they lost to Hong Kong by a score of 8-9.

Chairman Hwang said, “Our players have a difference in their skills, but they came all the way here after 20 hours of hard work in order to play hard against foreign players and learn from the good advanced baseball culture. However, because of this judgment and the poor management of the organizing committee, I feel regretful and angry that the things I did my best to prepare will end meaninglessly.”

Coach Yang Sang-moon of the national team strongly protests against the referee during the game against Australia held on the 11th (Korean time). Thunder Bay (Canada) | Reporter Hwang Hye-jeong. et16@sportsseoul.com

“Do you know about baseball rules?”

When national team coach Yang Sang-moon came out to protest with an interpreter during the game against Australia, referee Alessia Chiconi (Italy), who served as the referee that day, said to a male student who served as Yang’s interpreter.

When I protested through an interpreter, they said, “Don’t protest if you don’t know the rules well.” It was a remark that disregarded the Korean national team and coach Yang Sang-moon. Then, coach Yang was enraged and argued with the referee, saying, “I know baseball.”

On this day, Chicony umpire criticized pitcher Lee Ji-sook, who had been on the mound for relief, for smearing her saliva when she brushed off rosin powder, and moved the runner, which was not even in the penalty rule. He made the remark when Yang ran out of the dugout and protested. However, the referee Chiconi eventually acknowledged his mistake and corrected it with a decision of granting one ball count.

A cancellation email from the WBSC tournament organizing committee to the Korea Women’s Baseball Federation (WBAK). It was announced 31 minutes and 54 minutes later than the scheduled time. Photo courtesy | WBAK Chairman Jeong-Hee Hwang.

WBSC’s atrocities did not stop there. On the 12th (Korean time), the national team was scheduled to play the fourth match against Canada. It rained from the morning of this day, so the previous two games were postponed due to rain.

The organizers of the tournament sent an e-mail to the officials of the Korea Women’s Baseball Federation, saying, “We will inform you of the stadium situation at 2:00 p.m., so please wait.” However, even at 2:00, there was no call, and it was only after 31 minutes that “the previous two games were canceled, but we have to wait a little longer for the Canada-Korea match. I will notify you again at 5:00 PM.”

In response, an official from the Korea Women’s Baseball Federation protested to the organizing committee, and only then did the organizing committee call the federation official at 5:00 that day, saying, “The match between Korea and Canada was postponed due to rain. The match is scheduled to be held on the 14th, but the time is undecided.” The official email came 54 minutes later.

In the end, the team ended up spending the whole day just sitting in their rooms, unable to properly rest or exercise.

In addition, the organizing committee delayed the game due to stadium circumstances during the match against Australia, and the process was not like the association in charge of international competitions.

The Port Arthur Stadium fence, where the Australian match was scheduled to be held, collapsed due to strong winds the day before the game. la,” he said.

However, the bus to take the national team home did not arrive for more than 20 minutes. In the end, the national team wasted 20 minutes on the street, and as soon as they entered the accommodation in the Australian national team bus full of luggage, not the national team bus, they came out again 10 minutes later and headed to the stadium to play the game.

Chairman Hwang Jeong-hee said, “Due to the poor administration of the tournament organizing committee, the condition of the national team players is not properly managed. It is partly because of our lack of skills, but for various reasons, we are not able to show our skills in the game. He said that the glove he pitched for 2.1 innings the day before was useless, and he was told to use another glove, and in many ways, the host’s progress in the game was regrettable.”

Chairman Hwang worried about the players who suffered the most damage, saying, “I am worried that these incidents will accumulate and hurt the players, and that the desire to participate in the world competition will disappear.”

The Korea Women’s Baseball Federation plans to send a letter of protest to the organizing committee ahead of the match against Mexico on the 12th (Korean time), as well as visit the organizing committee chairman of the ‘Women’s Baseball World Cup’ to request a meeting.

Fiorentina’s Sophia Amrabat (26) is interested in Juventus.

British media ‘Daily Mail’ reported on the 11th (Korean time), “Juventus is trying to sign Amrabat, who Manchester United is aiming for, for 30 million pounds (approximately 50.7 billion won).”

He added, “Man Utd coach Eric Ten Hag’s midfielder target is Amrabat. During the last World Cup, he played an active part in the Moroccan national team and coach Ten Hag was listed on the recruitment list.”

He also said, “Man Utd seemed to be in the lead in the race to sign Amrabat. However, Juventus are negotiating for Amrabat.”

The media said, “Juventus’ Denis Zaccaria is expected to move to Monaco. Juventus is looking at Amrabat to fill the void left by Zaccaria.”

Morocco was the main character of the last World Cup in Qatar. They defeated strong teams one after another and saved Africa’s pride. In particular, in the round of 16, they met Spain, the ‘Invincible Armada’, and faced off 0-0. Afterwards, they beat Portugal to reach the semifinals, and although they lost to France and did not reach the final, it was a significant achievement.

At its center is Amrabat. He was the core of Morocco’s midfield and started in every match of the tournament from the group stage to the third-place match against Croatia.먹튀검증

The existence of Amrabat was a great force in Morocco’s gust. Not only does he have sharp passing skills, but he is also good at fighting, which contributes to his offense and defense. He is a midfielder who is active in the third line and boasts an enormous amount of activity.

The Amrabat contract, which has been playing for Fiorentina since the 2020-21 season, has played in a total of 49 games in the 2022-23 season. He played a key role, starting 24 of 29 Serie A matches.

His contract ends in June 2024. The time has come to think about his renewal and transfer. As of now, the possibility of a transfer seems high.

Manchester United spent a hefty sum this summer signing Mason Mount, Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlun. In order to recruit new players, the existing squad needs to be sorted out. This is the reason why there was no speed before signing Amrabat. At this time, Juventus suddenly hit and entered. ‘Daily Mail’ predicted that “Man Utd and Juventus will compete fiercely for the signing of Amrabat.”

Paul Skins, a ‘top prospect’ wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates uniform with a major league rookie contract fee ‘New History’, made a splendid debut match.

‘MLB.com’ reported on the 11th (hereinafter Korean time), “The Pittsburgh Pirates Paul Skins, who were selected as the first overall pick in the 2023 Major League Baseball Draft, made their first appearance.” He was truly a jaw-dropping pitcher.

Skins was selected by Pittsburgh with the first overall pick in the major league rookie draft held on the 10th of last month. The biggest reason why Skins was able to receive the overall 1st pick is because of his talent for throwing a fast ball of 102 miles (approximately 164.2 km). Skins’ average velocity was 98 mph, and he scored a perfect 80 on his fastball on the MLB Pipeline’s 20-80 scale.

At the time, ‘MLB.com’ reported the news of Skins’ overall first pick and said, “Skins is the best pitcher in college since Stephen Strasburg (Washington). Skins’ performance in college reminds me of Strasburg. Strasburg and Likewise, Skens throws an overwhelming triple-digit fastball (over 100 mph) and slider.”

Grades in college are overwhelming. Skins appeared in 19 games this year and showed the potential of striking out 209 while playing 122⅔ innings, and was active with an average ERA of 1.69 with 12 wins and 2 losses. Skins’ attractive point is not only its ‘fire bowler’ ability. Skins is also a player capable of the ‘double sword’.

Skins played in 52 games as a hitter this year, recording 13 homers, 38 RBIs, and a batting average of 0.314. In particular, he achieved the feat of 10-10 home runs as a ‘first’ in the American Collegiate League, and stood at the forefront of the University of Louisiana’s Collegiate League World Series championship.

As much as he possesses ‘special talent’, he also has a huge down payment. The Skins received $9.2 million from Pittsburgh (approximately 12.1 billion won), which surpassed the $8,416,300 (approximately 11.1 billion won) received by Spencer Torkelson (Detroit Tigers), who was the first overall pick in the 2020 rookie draft, and was the first rookie in major league history. Reached the maximum contract amount.메이저사이트

Skins, who joined Tsburgh, blocked one inning with a three-way strike in a confrontation with the ‘Rookie League’ FCL Twins held at the Pirates City Complex in Florida on the 11th. In the process of throwing a total of 11 pitches, Skins used 10 of them as fastballs, and showed off good control to the extent that 8 of the 11 pitches landed in the strike zone.

Redemption was overwhelming. Skins’ highest speed on this day marked 101 miles (approximately 162.5 km). Skins staged a show of force by throwing 7 fastballs over 100 miles fastball, recording 4 balls at 101 miles, 3 balls at 100 miles (about 161 km), and 3 balls at 99 miles (about 159.3 km). It was a glimpse into why Pittsburgh had the best contract ever.

On this day, Skins finished the game without participating in the ‘batter’ game. It remains to be seen whether Skins, who made his strong debut, will grow into a ‘double sword’ in the minor leagues as he did in college, or whether he will only hone his talent as a pitcher.

A new face appeared in the dugout of the Samsung Lions team having an away match against SSG Landers in Incheon. He was such a stranger that I had to think about who he was for a moment.

Starting on the 11th, Samsung will have a 3-game match against SSG at SSG Landers Field in Incheon.

Samsung released Suarez, a foreign pitcher who left due to injury on the 10th, and recruited Taylor Widener, who was announced as a waiver from the NC Dinos.

Widener was released from NC, but less than a week later, he received a recruitment offer from Samsung and succeeded in re-employment.

Widener moved from NC to Samsung in his debut season in the KBO League and wrote the second baseball story in the KBO League.

Widener cut off his trademark mustache and appeared in the Samsung squad. Even his hair was cut short, and it looked like it was about to be planted.

With his mustache gone, Widener looked like a brand new foreign player. He looked more friendly when his impressive mustache was gone.

Widener learned the new team atmosphere by watching games with his newfound teammates.

Did he even cut off his cherished beard to change the mood?

Foreign pitcher Taylor Widener transferred from NC to Samsung.

Widener will receive $220,000 from Samsung if he fills all the remaining days of registration out of the annual salary of about $600,000 contracted with NC.

Widener pitched 61.2 innings in 11 appearances wearing an NC uniform this season, recording an average ERA of 4.52 with 4 wins and 2 losses. He is disappointing for a foreign pitcher. However, just before leaving NC, the last two games were impressive, with 2 runs in 6 innings against KT on July 28 and 1 run in 7 innings against Lotte on August 3.

Widener, who moved to Samsung, joined the Samsung team for an away game in Incheon on the 11th. He wore a Lions uniform and even finished a profile photo shoot. His uniform number changed from the number 27 he wore in NC to number 57.안전놀이터

A foreign player changed his uniform mid-season in his first year in the KBO League.

He may have had a big goal by entering Korean professional baseball, but he could not achieve that dream due to injuries and sluggishness in NC. However, after recovering from his injury, he also showed a gradual adaptation to the KBO league.

Widener had twists and turns when he moved teams during the season, but he took on a new challenge at Samsung.

Samsung unfortunately let go of Albert Suarez, who had been devoted for the past two years, and recruited Widener.

Samsung chose to say goodbye to Suarez, whom fans loved, but announced that they would fight all-out until the end of the season by recruiting Widener.

Samsung won the match against SSG on the 11th with a good feeling. The team atmosphere is not bad with 4 wins and 2 losses in recent matches.

Head coach Park Jin-man predicted that Widener would be able to start in the last Sunday match against SSG in a weekend three-game series.
