The key to adapting to the new foreign pitcher KBO
Winning rival teams miss key players
In the 2021 season, it is noteworthy whether Na Seong-beom and NC will be together, and whether the Dinosaur Corps will achieve the’two consecutive years of unified championship’.
Na Seong-beom’s advance to the MLB was canceled. After returning to Korea from the US, Na Seong-beom negotiates annual salary negotiations with NC and prepares for the 2021 season. The first team players, including Na Seong-beom, will be quenched at Changwon NC Park and Masan Baseball Stadium from February 1st, and the second group players will be quenched at Tongyeong Sanyang Sports Park.
Na Seong-beom said, “I was happy to be able to challenge the MLB I’ve been dreaming of for a long time. If it’s not sad, I’d be lying, but there’s no big regret. I think there will be another opportunity. Now, I will do my best to win the 2021 season.”
Na Seong-beom will be eligible to become a free agent (FA) by completing the 2021 season. There is enough incentive to’do our best to win the team’ this year as much as the’second challenge’ through FA can be attempted. It’s good for both the players and the club.
NC minimized power loss this season. If Seong-Bum Na fell out while Kim Seong-wook was enlisting in the military, the outfield would be loose, but nothing of concern did arise. In other ships, Na Seong-beom, Yang Eui-ji, and Altair’s ’30 homers-100 RBIs’ were not dismantled, so their hot attack power remains. As Altair enters the second year of the KBO League, it has become more adaptable, so director Dong-wook Lee will be able to make changes such as placing it in the center line.
In the starting line, new foreign pitcher Wes Parsons, along with Luchinski, Koo Changmo, and Song Myeonggi, will be the first to fourth starters. In particular, it is noteworthy how much more Yeonggeon Song Myeongki will grow this season. Last year’s regular season 9-3 with an average ERA of 3.70, and in the Korean Series with 1 win and 1 hold, with an average ERA of 0, it is expected to show the strength of a native selection with Koo Chang-mo.
The player who will make a one-two punch with Luchinski is Parsons from MLB. Parsons, with a good physical condition of 196cm and 93kg, is a right-handed three-quarter pitcher and throws a lot of movement. If Parsons, who has excellent ground ball guidance ability, lands softly in the KBO League, it is expected to gain momentum in establishing the’NC Dynasty’.
Unlike NC, Doosan, KT, and Kiwoom are inevitable as players who were active in Tuta in the 2020 season transfer. Doosan recruited left-handed Ariel Miranda, who played in the United States, Japan, and Taiwan, and Walker Rocket from MLB, as Alcantara-Plexen foreign one-two punches left for Japan and the United States, respectively.
Among the players who were released as free agents, they captured Kim Jae-ho (shortstop) after Heo Kyung-min (third baseman) and Jung Su-bin (center field), but they had to send Choi Joo-hwan (second baseman) and Oh Jae-il (first baseman) to SK and Samsung, respectively.
kt recruited Joilo Almonte, who played in the U.S., Mexico, and Japan when Rojas, who was chosen as the best player (MVP) last year, went to Japan, and LG left pitcher Wilson and brought left-hander Andrew Suarez from MLB. Kiwoom has to recruit a foreign player while joining the MLB with shortstop Kim Ha-sung heading to the San Diego Padres. At the same time, he broke up with Russell and signed with pitcher Josh Smith, who played in the US.
