(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jang Hyun-gu = US Professional Baseball (MLB) St. Louis Cardinals right-handed ace Jack Flaherty is starting for the opening game of the regular league for the second consecutive year.
MLB.com reported on the 26th (KST) that St. Louis coach Mike Silt announced Flaherty as the starting pitcher of the season opening game.
Flaherty won the season’s first victory in the opening game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the opening game of last year, which opened only in late July due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19).
This year’s opening match is the Cincinnati Reds. The match will be held on April 2nd at the Reds’ home, Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.
Sylt explained that he is trying to devise the optimal starting rotation sequence to win.
This means that the next selection order for Flaherty has not yet been decided.
St. Louis will be selected as the starting pitcher for only four players, Flaherty, Adam Wainwright, Kim Kwang-hyun, and Miles Mycolors, and the fifth starting pitcher will be selected through competition in the demonstration game.
Kwang-Hyun Kim is considered as the second or third starter.
However, considering the schedule, there is a possibility that Wainwright, St. Louis’ bossy boss, will be the second starter.
St. Louis finishes their sixth expedition against the Cincinnati and the Miami Marlins, and invites the Milwaukee Brewers to play their home opening game on April 9.
Considering the symbolism of the opening game of the home, the scene where Wainwright, a veteran who has been playing for only 16 years in St. Louis this year, is ideal.
If Wainwright starts the season with a second starter, he will be able to throw at the home opening game five days after starting against Cincinnati on April 4.
