Ryu Hyun-jin, Hot Topic at the Opening Media Day

I Didn’t Even Attend… Ryu Hyun-jin Became a Hot Topic at the Opening Media Day

Fans cheer as Hanwha coach Choi Won-ho announces the opening game selections

Ahead of the opening of the 2024 professional baseball season, the player whose name was called the most as each team submitted their entries was ‘Returning Korean Monster’ Ryu Hyun-jin (Hanwha Eagles).

Ryu Hyun-jin was constantly on the lips of coaches and players from 10 teams at the 2024 season opening media day held at the Lotte Hotel in Sogong-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul on the 22nd.

In fact, Ryu Hyun-jin did not attend the event on this day due to his schedule to start the opening game against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 23rd.

It was an opportunity to guess how passionate baseball people and fans are about him. 파워볼사이트

Baseball fans cheered just hearing Ryu Hyun-jin’s name called.

When it was each team’s turn to reveal the starting pitchers for the opening game, Hanwha coach Choi Won-ho expressed, “We will have Ryu Hyun-jin, who is not available on other teams, in the opening game.”

Baseball fans sitting in the stands clapped and cheered at Coach Choi’s special introduction.

Coaches and players from other teams were wary of Ryu Hyun-jin.

Coach Beom-ho Lee, the new head coach of the KIA Tigers, said, “Hanwha has recruited many good players, including Ryu Hyun-jin,” and added, “I think it will be a good season even if we win even half of our opponents’ records.”

KIA is considered a candidate for the championship due to its solid performance this season.

KIA members, including coach Beom-ho Lee, publicly set their goal for this season as winning the Korean Series.

However, it was expected that there would be a tight competition with Hanwha, a lower-ranked team.

Lim Chan-gyu, the LG Twins’ native starting pitcher, spoke about LG coach Yeom Kyung-yeop’s statement that about two wins should be deducted from the season’s target number of wins due to Ryu Hyun-jin’s return.

Lim Chan-gyu said, “I think you said that because the best pitcher in Korea has returned,” and expressed his determination, saying, “We will work harder and try to make up for the two wins missing from our target number of wins.”

When asked about the significance of Ryu Hyun-jin’s return to the KBO League, coach Yeom Kyung-yeop recently drew attention by saying, “It will take about two wins from the target number of wins.”

Native starters who had to compete for individual titles were also conscious of Ryu Hyun-jin’s return.

KT Wiz’s native ace Go Young-pyo said, “It’s an honor just to compete with senior Ryu Hyun-jin,” and added, “But I will try not only to surpass the quality start but also the number of wins.”

Ryu Hyun-jin, who played a big role in the American Major League Baseball (MLB) from 2013 to last year, recently signed with his former team Hanwha after qualifying as a free agent (FA).

KIA Coach, Challenge to Win this Year

KIA Coach “Challenge to Win this Year”, Hanwha Captain “If we don’t Place 5th, We will go to the Sea”

Even if you don’t attend the media day, the topic of discussion is ‘Ryu Hyun-jin’s return’

“I will win this year.”

Fans erupted in cheers at the firm words of KIA Tigers Coach Lee Beom-ho, born in 1981, the youngest among the head coaches of the 10 teams in the 2024 Korean Professional Baseball KBO League.

At the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO Media Day held at the Lotte Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 22nd, the host asked the ‘three new head coaches’ to “predict the timing of victory.” 바카라사이트

Coach Kim Tae-hyung, a ‘championship contractor’ who signed a three-year contract with the Lotte Giants, promised, “I will do it within three years,” and SSG Landers coach Lee Soong-yong said, “My contract period is two years.

I will do it within two years.”

Coach Lee Beom-ho then took the microphone and firmly said, “We will do it this season.”

Coach Lee said, “Among the 10 teams, I was the last to take office,” and pledged, “However, I will work hard to achieve the dream that I could not achieve last year (6th place) this season.

I will play good baseball for the fans.”

Manager Lee Beom-ho started spring camp as a hitting coach, but was appointed as the new head coach of KIA on the 13th of last month following the dismissal of former manager Kim Jong-guk, who was investigated by the prosecution on charges of breach of trust by receiving kickbacks from sponsors.

Although key hitter Na Seong-beom was recently diagnosed with damage to his right thigh hamstring (the muscle behind the thigh) and was withdrawn from the lineup, KIA is still evaluated as having ‘top-tier power.’

Coach Lee Beom-ho, who quickly restored the team atmosphere, did not hide his ‘dream of challenging for the championship.’

KIA ace Eui-ri Lee said, “The players’ goal is also No. 1,” and also pledged to win, saying, “If we win, we will host an event with fans at the baseball stadium to enjoy together.”

The ‘defending champion’ LG Twins, who achieved a combined championship last year for the first time in 29 years since 1994, also has no intention of stepping down.

LG coach Yeom Kyeong-yeop said, “I had a really good experience last year.

I and the players want to feel that joy again this year,” and added, “I will work hard with the goal of winning a second consecutive championship.”

KT Wiz coach Lee Kang-cheol, who performed the ‘magic’ of rising from last place to second place in 2023, declared his challenge for the championship, saying, “This season, I will have a leisurely season with a baseball that always wins.”

Although he did not participate in the media day, the name of Ryu Hyun-jin (Hanwha Eagles), who returned to the KBO League after 12 years, was constantly heard at the event venue.

Hanwha coach Choi Won-ho excitedly said, “Our starting pitcher for the opening game (23rd) is Ryu Hyun-jin, who ‘no other team has’” and added, “We recruited Chae Eun-seong last year and Ahn Chi-hong this year, and even Ryu Hyun-jin is back, so we will definitely be playing fall baseball with Hanwha fans this season.”

“I will do it,” he promised to advance to the postseason for the first time in six years since 2018.

When asked about the possibility of the first-ever starting match between Ryu Hyun-jin and Kim Gwang-hyun (SSG), the left-handed duo representing Korean baseball, SSG coach Lee Soong-yong said, “Due to my personality, I will not avoid it.

If we meet, I will prepare well so that we can win.”

It raised the expectations of baseball fans.

With Ryu Hyun-jin’s return, Hanwha players’ confidence also grew.

Hanwha captain Chae Eun-seong said, “Our goal is fourth place,” and added, “If we don’t make it into the top five, the senior players have decided to swim in the waters off Taean.”

Noh Si-hwan also made a huge pledge, saying, “A new stadium will be built in Daejeon next year,” and “If we win, we will invite all fans to the first game at the new stadium for free.”

Doosan Bears coach Lee Seung-yeop, who finished 5th in his first season (2023), said, “Our team’s catchphrase this year is ‘247’.

We created ‘Fans’ so that our fans can enjoy baseball 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

“I will play baseball that satisfies everyone,” he said.

Coach Lee predicted that ‘big rookie’ Kim Taek-yeon would win the Rookie of the Year Award and encouraged him, saying, “One day, he will be able to play in MLB (Major League Baseball).”

Coach Kang In-kwon of the NC Dinos, who struggled in last year’s playoffs, dreamed of advancing to the Korean Series, saying, “This year, I will work with the fans until the final stage in the fall.”

Samsung Lions coach Park Jin-man, who was in the bottom tier (8th place) last year, predicted a rebound, saying, “There will be more winning days than losing days this season.”

Coach Hong Won-ki of Kiwoom Heroes, who finished in last place (10th place) in 2023 and even sent Jeong-hoo Lee (San Francisco Giants) to the United States, promised, “This year, I will discover new faces and show myself constantly challenging myself.”

After completing the ‘Speaking Contest’, professional baseball coaches and representative players begin their long journey of playing 144 games per team on the 23rd.

Hanwha Ryu Hyun-jin Starts KBO Opening Game

Hanwha Ryu Hyun-jin Starts KBO Opening Game for the First Time in 12 Years… SSG Kim Gwang-hyun also Sorties

Among the 10 starting pitchers in the opening game, 8 are foreigners.

‘Korea’s best pitcher of the 21st century’ Ryu Hyun-jin (37, Hanwha Eagles) stands on the mound at Jamsil Baseball Stadium and announces the start of the 2024 Korean Professional Baseball KBO League.

At the Korea Professional Baseball 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO Media Day held at the Lotte Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 22nd, Hanwha coach Choi Won-ho said, “The starting pitcher for the opening game is Ryu Hyun-jin, who ‘is not on any other team.’” 카지노사이트

Ryu Hyun-jin will start the regular season opening game against the ‘defending champion’ LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 23rd.

This is the first time Ryu Hyun-jin starts in the KBO League opening game in 12 years since 2012, just before advancing to the Major League Baseball (MLB).

Ryu Hyun-jin pitched in 186 games in MLB over 11 years from 2013 to 2023, posting a record of 78 wins, 48 losses, 1 save, and an ERA of 3.27.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who emphasized several times, “I will return to Hanwha while I still have strength,” kept his promise by returning to Hanwha after 12 years.

In this year’s exhibition game, he showed off his unique and sophisticated ball control, allowing 9 hits and 3 runs (average ERA 3.00) in 9 innings in 2 games, and striking out 9.

He showed off his prowess as a ‘monster pitcher’ without yet using 100% of his strength.

Ryu Hyun-jin first appeared as an ‘opening game starter’ in 2007, his second year in the KBO League, and also announced the start of the regular season in 2008, 2009, 2011, and 2012.

However, in the KBO opening game, he received a report card that did not live up to his reputation.

Ryu Hyun-jin’s KBO opening game record is 1 win, 3 losses, and an average ERA of 5.81.

They only won against SK Wyverns (now SSG Landers) in 2009, and struggled in every opening game.

If he breaks the jinx in his 6th KBO opening game appearance, he will be able to win as a starter in the KBO opening game for the first time in 15 years.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who has 98 wins in his KBO League career (52 losses, 1 save, ERA 2.80), is aiming for his 99th win, the same number as his jersey number.

Coincidentally, Jamsil Stadium is where the ‘birth of a monster pitcher’ was announced.

Ryu Hyun-jin’s KBO debut opponent was also LG.

Ryu Hyun-jin made his debut spectacularly in the game against Jamsil LG on April 12, 2006, pitching 7⅓ innings, allowing 3 hits, no runs, and striking out 10.

After dominating the KBO League, he moved to the United States and set a record as the first Korean to appear as a starter in the MLB opening game for three consecutive years (2020-2022).

Korean fans will be able to see Ryu Hyun-jin, who returned from his brilliant life in the United States, from the first day of the 2024 season.

In his match against LG, Ryu Hyun-jin overwhelmed his opponent with a total of 22 wins, 8 losses, and an average ERA of 2.36.

However, LG’s batting lineup is completely different now than it was 12 years ago.

Last year, LG ranked first in this category with OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 0.755.

There is no power leak in the batting lineup, so we are looking forward to a head-to-head match with Ryu Hyun-jin.

LG, which won the combined championship (regular league and Korean series championship) last year, will select left-handed Detrick Enns, who has experience playing American and Japanese baseball, as the starter in the opening game.

SSG left-handed ace Gwang-Hyun Kim will start the opening game for the second consecutive year and the fifth time in his career.

The pitcher who will face Gwang-Hyun Kim as the starting pitcher at SSG Landers Field in Incheon is Aaron Wilkerson (Lotte Giants).

In Suwon, William Cuevas (KT Wiz) and Connor Siebold (Samsung Lions) will clash, and in Changwon, Kyle Hart (NC Dinos) and Raul Alcantara (Doosan Bears) will clash.

Alcantara took on the important role of starting the opening game for two consecutive years.

KIA coach Lee Beom-ho, the youngest head coach, predicted Will Crowe as the starter for the opening game at home in Gwangju, while Kiwoom Heroes coach Hong Won-ki, who is trying to regain his reputation, announced Ariel Jurado as the starter.

In the end, in the opening game on the 23rd, eight foreign pitchers will serve as starting pitchers, including the left-handed duo Hyun-jin Ryu and Gwang-hyun Kim, who represent Korean baseball.

Korea, World Cup 3rd Qualifying Round

Korea, World Cup 3rd Qualifying Round Could be a Thorny Path… Painful Draw Against Thailand

Falling from 3rd to 4th place in Asia after being pushed out by Australia, which won against Lebanon, if this continues, we will be grouped with one of Japan, Iran, and Australia in the third preliminary round.

As the Korean national soccer team ended in a draw with Thailand at home, there is a greater possibility that the road to the 2026 North and Central America World Cup finals will become more difficult. 온라인카지노

The Korean national soccer team, led by interim Coach Hwang Sun-hong, drew 1-1 in the third match of Group C of the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asia 2nd qualifying round against Thailand held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 21st.

If they had achieved a refreshing multiple-goal victory against Thailand, who were considered to be one step below them, they would have been able to declare a ‘new start’ in a good mood, leaving behind the Qatar Asian Cup failure and repeated ‘incidents’ and ‘scandals’, but that was not possible.

What’s even more painful is that there is a greater possibility that Korea will be defeated by Australia in the FIFA rankings to be announced in April.

Korea ranks 22nd in the most recent FIFA rankings released in February.

Among Asian Football Confederation (AFC) member countries, it ranks third highest after Japan (18th) and Iran (20th).

Australia, which ranks fourth, is ranked 23rd, just below Korea.

However, while Korea ended up in a draw with Thailand, Australia in Group I of the second Asian preliminary round recorded a 2-0 win over Lebanon, setting the stage for them to overtake Korea and rise to third place in Asia.

Korea’s February FIFA ranking points were 1,566.21 points, and Australia’s were 1,554.82 points.

If the results of the previous day’s game are reflected according to the FIFA ranking calculation method, Korea lost 7.47 points, resulting in 1,558.74 points.

It falls two places to 24th place.

This is why Korea lost 7.47 ranking points even though it did not lose to Thailand.

Thailand’s FIFA ranking is 101st, a whopping 79 places lower than Korea.

Korea has maintained its third place in Asia since September of last year, but due to the draw against Thailand, there is a greater possibility that it will fall to fourth place in the rankings to be announced in April.

If things continue like this, Korea will have to walk a ‘thorny path’ in the 3rd Asian qualifying round starting in September.

The third preliminary round will be held with 18 participating countries competing in three groups of six teams each.

If you are ranked in the top 3 in Asia in the FIFA rankings, you will have a greater chance of being placed in pot 1 in the group draw and receiving a favorable group arrangement.

If Korea enters the group draw in 4th place, an unfortunate event will occur where it will be placed in a group with one of the ‘four Asian kings’ – Japan, Iran, or Australia.

This is why Korea should not be satisfied with ‘passing the second round of qualifying’.

To enter pot 1 in the third preliminary round draw, a team must win all three remaining games.

Only then can we surpass Australia and become third in Asia.

First of all, the 4th game against Thailand on the 26th is expected to be a critical moment.

It is expected to be a more difficult match than the third game.

Thailand, coached by Japanese coach Masatada Ishii, gained momentum by achieving a draw that was almost like a victory in the away game in Korea with solid defensive organization and sharp counterattacks.

On the other hand, Korea, which absolutely did not have enough time to add Director Hwang’s ‘color’, was in a panic.

It is unclear how much tactical perfection can be improved by the fourth game.

Taegeuk warriors also have to contend with the sweltering heat in Bangkok, where daytime temperatures approach 35 degrees.

Soccer commentator Han Jun-hee said, “Thailand is a team with a well-prepared manual for dealing with strong teams, and the players’ stamina is good enough to implement their game model.”

He added, “Korea can see Thailand’s strengths and movements through the third game.

“As we have experienced this, we need to come up with various preparations for the 4th game,” he said.

Commentator Park Chan-ha said, “Coach Hwang, who led the team that was broken under the full-time coach system as an interim coach rather than an official coach, was in a difficult situation where he had to bring about positive change even in conditions where it was not easy to do anything right away.”

“The fourth game will be a real test for Coach Hwang,” he said.

OK Financial Group Beats Hyundai Capital

OK Financial Group Beats Hyundai Capital and Enters Men’s Volleyball PO

Return match with Woori Card after 3 years… 1st match at Jangchungseo on the 23rd

OK Financial Group, which reached the men’s professional volleyball postseason for the first time in three years, struggled to shake off Hyundai Capital’s pursuit and advanced to the playoffs (PO, 2 wins out of 3).

OK Financial Group, ranked 3rd in the regular league, defeated 4th placed Hyundai Capital with a set score of 3-2 (22-25 25- 22 25-21 22-25 15-13).

OK Financial Group is aiming for revenge in the PO for the first time in three years against Woori Card, second place in the regular league. 카지노사이트

OK Financial Group defeated KB Insurance in the semi-PO three years ago and then bowed to Woori Card in the PO with two losses.

The first PO match between the two teams will begin at 7 p.m. on the 23rd at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul, Woori Card’s home stadium.

Hyundai Capital, who dramatically secured the spring volleyball ticket with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss in the 6th round of the regular league, produced a spectacular game with all their might, but was just one point short of securing a ticket to Jangchung.

OK Financial Group’s ‘solver’ Leonardo Leyva Martinez (registered name Leo) scored 43 points, the highest score ever for a semi-PO, putting the team in PO status and being selected as the Most Valuable Player (MVP).

As the two teams faced each other 6 times this season, going 5 sets on 4 occasions and finishing with 3 wins and 3 losses, they played a close match with no regrets in spring volleyball.

When Hyundai Capital mobilized both wings and the center to win the first set with total volleyball in which everyone scored, OK Financial Group responded with Leo’s one-man show.

Leo scored 20 points alone until the second set.

OK Financial Group took the victory in the closely contested third set, 21-20, thanks to Hyundai Capital’s Ahmed Ikhbairi (registered name: Ahmed)’s offensive mistake, and quickly accumulated set points with Song Hee-chae’s clever touch-out score and Leo’s refreshing back attack.

Left-handed striker Shin Ho-jin and outside heater Song Hee-chae supported Leo, who was struggling, and gave OK Financial Group a breather in scoring.

However, in the 4th set, when they were trailing 22-23, Leo’s back attack completely missed the court, and OK Financial Group was dragged to the 5th set.

Hyundai Capital seemed to be on the cusp of victory thanks to Jeon Kwang-in’s 3 consecutive blocker touch-out scores, but when Leo scored 4 consecutive back attack scores to bring the game back to square one, the 5th set turned into a seesaw game again.

In the end, at 13-13, Hyundai Capital’s Jeon Kwang-in’s serve error became the watershed for victory.

For OK Financial Group, when Leo cleared Heo Soo-bong’s open attack at the match point, setter Kwak Myeong-woo raised the ball to the left, and Shin Ho-jin made a big swing with his left arm and scored a touchout, putting an end to the bloody battle.

Song Hee-chae contributed 15 points and Shin Ho-jin contributed 12 points.

In Hyundai Capital, the trio of Ahmed (29 points), Heo Soo-bong (23 points), and Jeon Gwang-in (18 points) struggled, but were caught up in 33 mistakes, 12 more than OK Financial Group.

In particular, in the 5th set, 5 beomsils poured out and I swallowed my tears.

Ataru’s Winning Goal, Ulsan Defeats Pohang and Wins 1 – 0

ATARU’S WINNING GOAL, ULSAN DEFEATS POHANG AND WINS 1-0 IN THE OPENING GAME OF K-LEAGUE 1

Ataru’s first goal in K-League 1 this season… Pohang Aspro’s ‘No. 1 exit’

Defending champion’ Ulsan HD defeated ‘difficult enemy’ Pohang Steelers in the opening game and took the first step toward winning their third consecutive K-League 1 title. 파워볼게임

In the opening game of the first round of the professional soccer Hana Bank K League 1 2024 against Pohang held at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan on the 1st, Ulsan saved Ataru’s goal in the 6th minute of the second half and won 1-0.

As a result, Ulsan, who achieved their second consecutive victory in K League 1 last year, defeated ‘last year’s FA Cup champion’ Pohang in the opening match and announced the beginning of their challenge to lift the trophy for the third consecutive year.

Ulsan smiled brightly in the opening game of this season’s K League 1, which attracted attention as a match between last year’s K League 1 champion and the FA Cup champion.

Ulsan used the 4-2-3-1 tactic with ‘last year’s top scorer’ Joo Min-gyu as the lone top striker, while Pohang used the 4-4-2 tactic with foreign strikers Giorgi and Heo Yong-jun as the ‘two top strikers’.

For the opening match, 28,683 ‘cloud spectators’ flocked to Munsu Stadium.

This is the largest attendance ever for Ulsan’s opening home game since 2018, when paid attendance statistics began.

Ulsan increased the intensity of its attack from the beginning of the game, but had difficulty breaking through Pohang’s defensive wall, which was counterattacked after the player’s defense.

In particular, Pohang Steelers changed to a 5-4-1 tactic in a defensive situation and blocked Ulsan’s attack with a ‘two-line defensive wall’.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Ulsan replaced right wing Jang Si-young, a U-22 resource, with Eom Won-sang to strengthen mobility.

Ulsan took the opportunity to score the first goal.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, in a mixed situation at goal following Ulsan’s free kick, Eom Won-sang’s cross from the right side of the penalty area was redirected by Kim Min-woo in front of the goal area, shaking the goal.

However, the assistant referee immediately raised the offside flag.

Kim Min-woo was in an offside position when Eom Won-sang’s pass was delivered.

After taking a breather, Pohang immediately launched a counterattack, and in the 33rd minute of the first half, Giorgi caught a pass from behind and put the ball into Ulsan’s net with a powerful left-footed shot from the right side of the penalty area.

However, Giorgi was also in an offside position the moment he received the pass, and the goal was canceled with the assistant referee’s offside flag.

Ulsan, who finished the first half scoreless, finally scored the first goal in the 6th minute of the second half, and the protagonist was Japanese attacking midfielder Ataru.

Ataru, who received the ball on the left side of the penalty area, connected a strong cross towards Joo Min-gyu, who was rushing towards the goal.

However, the ball did not hit Joo Min-gyu’s foot, and the ball, which bounced in front of the goal, was sucked into the Pohang goal.

It was the moment when the first goal of this season’s K League 1 was born.

Ataru’s score ended up being the winning goal.

Ulsan was in danger of conceding a decisive goal in the 19th minute of the second half, but ‘Spider Hand’ Cho Hyun-woo’s super save shined.

Pohang’s Hong Yun-sang’s powerful shot from near the left side of the penalty arc was blocked by Cho Hyun-woo’s fingertips as he flew forward.

Pohang, desperate for an equalizer, tried to block Ulsan’s Eom Won-sang from a counterattack in the 44th minute of the second half, but attempted a back tackle, and the referee took out a ‘red card’, saying that they had blocked a perfect goal opportunity.

Aspro, who joined Pohang this year, suffered the disgrace of being the ‘No. 1 player to be sent off’ in K League 1 this season.

Ulsan, who continued their last-minute offensive with a numerical superiority, was unable to score an additional goal, but ended up winning the home game comfortably.

Go Woo-seok Hold in MLB Exhibition Game

HOLD IN MLB EXHIBITION GAME’ GO WOO-SEOK “FASTBALL, SLIDER, CURVE ARE WEAPONS”

In his first appearance in an exhibition game, he pitched 2K in one inning… “Appearing in the Seoul Series is special.”

Go Woo-seok (25), who successfully completed his debut game in a big league exhibition game, cited “pulling out hitters’ missed swings and confirming the quality of fastballs” as his biggest gain.

Go Woo-seok took the mound in the bottom of the 8th inning with a 5-3 lead in the 2024 American Professional Baseball Major League (MLB) away exhibition game against the Oakland Athletics held at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, Arizona, USA on the 1st (Korean time) and pitched 1 inning, allowing 1 hit, no runs, and 2 strikeouts.

I blocked it and took the hold. 바카라사이트

According to the local MLB broadcaster, on this day, Go Woo-seok threw a fastball, slider, and curveball.

The highest speed of his fastball was 93 miles per hour (about 150 km).

MLB.com commented, “Before the game, Go Woo-seok said, ‘I’m really nervous,’ but he didn’t express those feelings on the mound.”

Go Woo-seok struck out Tyler Soderstrom on a missed swing, recording a ‘strikeout’ as the first batter he faced in a big league exhibition game.

Ko Woo-seok, who grounded Korean batter Park Hyo-jun to second base, gave up a left-field hit to Cooper Bowman, but ended the inning by striking out Max Schumann on a missed swing.

In an interview with MLB.com, Go Woo-seok said, “I throw three pitches (fastball, slider, and curveball) with confidence.

“This is the secret to success in Korea,” he said, adding, “MLB is of a higher standard than the KBO league, but we will use the three pitches as weapons here as well.”

Go Woo-seok gained confidence by hitting 150 km per hour and causing missed swings in his first pitching game.

But he still humbles himself .

Go Woo-seok said, “I feel good because I checked the speed of the fastball and pulled out a missed swing,” but also added, “There is still a lot of work to be done.

I will stay healthy until the opening game and become stronger.”

San Diego will play the official opening series of the 2024 MLB season against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on March 20th and 21st.

Go Woo-seok’s participation in the Seoul Series is confirmed.

With a good pitch in his first appearance in an exhibition game, he was given the green light to enter the opening roster (26 players).

Go Woo-seok said, “It is a very special thing to wear the MLB San Diego uniform and go on the mound of Gocheok Dome, where I played,” and added, “For a baseball player, pitching in the opening game is exciting, but also nerve-wracking,” and looked forward to pitching in the Seoul Series.

The primary goal of Go Woo-seok, who signed a 2+1 year contract with San Diego for up to $9.4 million, is to enter the opening roster.

Despite being evaluated as a closer candidate, Go Woo-seok always said, “My big league debut comes first.”

He, who played his first exhibition game in the big league somewhat late, said, “The club gave me plenty of opportunities to get in shape,” and repeatedly emphasized, “I don’t care about the position.

My role is to go on the mound and count outs.”

His first appearance on the mound was completed safely.

San Diego coach Mike Silt praised Go Woo-seok, saying, “Everything worked.

The ball’s rotation and control were also good,” and “It was a great first appearance.”

Shohei Ohtani, My Wife is an Ordinary Japanese Person

SHOHEI OHTANI “MY WIFE IS AN ORDINARY JAPANESE PERSON… WE ARE FUN TO BE WITH”

A surprise wedding announcement was made on social media the day before… I am silent about my wife’s identity.

Shohei Ohtani (29, Los Angeles Dodgers), the ‘superstar’ who receives the most attention among active baseball players, introduced himself as “an ordinary Japanese person” after making a ‘surprise marriage announcement’. 카지노사이트

Ohtani stood in front of American and Japanese reporters ahead of the American professional baseball Dodgers’ spring camp training held at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona, on the 1st (Korean time).

He made a surprise wedding announcement the day before through social media (SNS).

Ohtani’s marriage announcement became a hot topic not only in Japan but also in the United States.

As announced, Ohtani responded to the ‘marriage report’ on the 1st, but kept quiet about his wife’s personal details.

In an interview with Japan’s Nikkan Sports, Ohtani said, “My wife is a very ordinary Japanese person.

I can’t tell you the exact time, but I met her three to four years ago and we got engaged last year.

I wanted to announce the news of our marriage before the start of the regular season.”

“After completing the documentation, we have now announced it,” he said.

When asked, “Is there a reason why you announced your marriage?”

Ohtani jokingly replied, “It’s noisy even if I’m not married, and it’s noisy even if I get married.

I announced my marriage to focus on baseball.”

Ohtani is the star player who attracts the most attention not only in Japan but also in the American Major League.

The level of attention grew as he signed a 10-year contract with the Dodgers worth $700 million (approximately 920 billion won), the largest contract in global sports history.

Ohtani, who was included in the ‘Sports Rich List’, donated a huge amount of money, willingly gave expensive gifts to acquaintances, and poured out beautiful stories.

Although Ohtani has been in the spotlight as a superstar for many years, his private life has rarely been exposed.

Although his dating rumors arose, they all turned out to be unfounded.

Even the numerous cameras aimed at Otani could not capture the scene of Otani’s date.

Regarding this, Otani said, “I only met my wife for a short period of time in Japan.

If we met outside, it would be noisy, so we only dated indoors.

My wife rarely came to the United States during the season, but this year she came here during spring training.”

He said, “Secret love” and shared the secret to maintaining it.

Ohtani explained his wife’s charm by saying, “It’s fun to be together.

I could imagine them continuing to be together.”

Another charm of his wife that he cited is her understanding.

Ohtani said, “My wife was not involved in the contract with the Dodgers at all.

IBK Industrial Bank achieved a come-from-behind victory against Pepper Savings Bank with a set score of 3-2 (15-25 25-14 22-25 25-23 15-7) in the Dodram 2023-2024 V-League visit game held at Gwangju Pepper Stadium on the 29th.

Pepper Savings Bank achieved its first win in 24 games against GS Caltex on the 23rd and was eliminated, aiming for its first two consecutive wins since its founding, but ended in vain.

Pepper Savings Bank, launched in 2021, has not had a single winning streak while achieving 3 wins (28 losses, 11 points) in the 2021-2022 season and 5 wins (31 losses, 14 points) in the 2022-2023 season.

Recently, veteran libero Oh Ji-young was suspended for one year on charges of bullying two juniors, and former coach Joe Tringe was fired.

After trading two sets each, IBK Industrial Bank’s backlash was even fiercer in the fifth set.

Lim Hye-rim blocked Yasmin Bedart’s (registered name Yasmin) attack at 9-7 and led the team to 10 points, while Pepper Savings Bank’s Lee Han-bi and Yasmin’s attacks left the court one after another.

IBK Industrial Bank accumulated match points with goals from Britney Abercrombie (registered name: Abercrombie) and Min-kyung Hwang.

Afterwards, Abercrombie ended the game by blocking opponent Park Kyung-hyun’s open score.

On this day, setter Kim Ha-kyung, who replaced Ponpoon, who was absent due to injury, started for the first time in 28 games and supported the team’s victory.

While Abercrombie scored the most points (29 points) in the team, Seoyoung Yook recorded the most points (20 points) in one game this season.

At Pepper Savings Bank, Yasmin (32 points), Park Jeong-ah (15 points), and Lee Han-bi (14 points) did their best, but it was not enough.

In the men’s match held at Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon, KB Insurance defeated Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance with a set score of 3-2 (19-25 25-16 25-20 25-27 15-11).

KB Insurance, the lowest ranked team that won after 10 games, broke its losing streak and earned its 5th win of the season (27 losses, 21 points).

On the other hand, 5th place Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance (45 points, 17 wins, 15 losses), which is rapidly rising in the rankings, missed the opportunity to beat 4th place KEPCO (47 points, 16 wins, 16 losses).

In KB Insurance, Andres Villena (registered name Viyena) led the victory with the most points (37 points) for both teams, and Hwang Gyeong-min (19 points) provided support.

At Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, Yosvani Hernández (registered name Yosvani) scored 29 points and Kim Jeong-ho scored 11 points.

MLB, Concerned About Booming Reducing Pitcher Quota

MLB, CONCERNED ABOUT BOOMING CONSIDERS REDUCING PITCHER QUOTA… THE ON-SITE REACTION WAS ‘WELL’

The purpose of developing star starting pitchers… Average number of pitches and innings steadily dropping, Dodgers manager says, “It doesn’t help us win”… Scherzer: “Incentives are necessary”

“The star quality of the starting pitchers has declined.” 카지노사이트

This is the background for Rob Manfred (65), Commissioner (Governor) of Major League Baseball (MLB), who is considering reducing the number of pitchers in the active roster (26 players).

Last year, Commissioner Manfred announced that he was considering reducing the pitcher quota from the current 13 to 12 as early as the 2025 season.

As the number of pitchers decreases, the number of pitches and innings that one starting pitcher must throw will inevitably increase, with the expectation that this will contribute to the overall success of the major league.

Commissioner Rob Manfred said, “Historically, starting pitchers were the biggest stars in baseball games,” and added, “Recent pitcher management methods have diminished the star quality of starting pitchers.”

According to Spotradar, major league starting pitchers threw 98.6 pitches per game in 2000 and accounted for 17.8 outs, but last year they only threw 85.1 pitches and accounted for 15.4 outs.

There are also statistics showing that in 1998, starting pitchers were responsible for 67.84% of all innings, but this gradually decreased to 57.98% last year.

This is a difficult proposition for a club to accept, where the team’s victory is more important than the success of the league.

The Associated Press reported on the 29th (Korean time), “There are more talented bullpen pitchers in the major leagues than ever before.

Much data also suggests that it is dangerous for one pitcher to play many innings.”

He pointed out, “Realistically, from a manager’s perspective, it is easier to explain why it is better to remove an ace starting pitcher early than to replace him too late.”

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said, “I completely understand fans’ desire to see a pitcher pitch until the 7th or 8th inning,” but pointed out, “However, it does not necessarily help win the game.”

However, Max Scherzer (39, Texas Rangers), who won the Cy Young Award three times, was negative about reducing the number of pitchers, but agreed with the purpose, saying, “There needs to be incentives for starting pitchers to pitch longer.”

“I could have been a better pitcher by going through the opponent’s lineup three times (in one game),” Max Scherzer said.

“Recently we are too afraid of letting young pitchers fail,” he said.

Big League 2008 Scherzer, who debuted in , pitched 2,834⅔ innings in 457 games over 16 seasons, earning 214 wins, 108 losses, and an average ERA of 3.15.

Since 2013, he has surpassed 200 innings in six consecutive seasons.

Scherzer added, “I trained so that I could throw 105 to 110 pitches in a rotation every five days.

I don’t understand why they are increasingly limiting the number of pitches for pitchers who are growing.”
