Regular season MVP Peddie signs with White Sox “Very good teammate “He will do well in MLB as well”

The absence of a ‘20-win pitcher’ cannot help but be regrettable. Still, NC Dinos veteran hitter Son Ah-seop (35) cheered on pitcher Eric Peddy (30), who took on a new challenge again.

Peddy played an active part as NC’s ‘Super Ace’ in the 2023 season. He pitched in 30 games and achieved a record of 20 wins, 6 losses, and an earned run average of 2.00.

He achieved the pitcher triple crown by sweeping the categories of wins, average earned run average, and strikeouts (209). Peddy is the fourth player to achieve the pitcher triple crown in the KBO League, following Sun Dong-yeol (1986, 1989-1991), Ryu Hyun-jin (2006), and Yoon Seok-min (2011). This is the first record for a foreign player.

He is the first foreign player to achieve 20 wins and 200 strikeouts in a single season at the same time in 37 years since Haitai Sun Dong-yeol (24 wins, 214 strikeouts) in 1986.

This year’s regular season. The Most Valuable Player (MVP) also went to Peddie. Peddie also received the Golden Glove as a pitcher.

When Peddy, who played as a full-time starting pitcher for the Major League Baseball (MLB) Washington Nationals before coming to Korea, achieved success in the KBO League, Japanese Professional Baseball, MLB clubs sent love calls.

NC worked hard to retain Pedi. Currently, the KBO League’s spending on three foreign players, including salaries, options, and transfer fees, should not exceed $4 million, but they made the best offer they could.

However, it was not possible to overcome the conditions of Japanese and American clubs. No matter how much love Peddie showed for NC, the professional world is cold.

In the end, Peddie signed a two-year contract with the Chicago White Sox for a total of $15 million (approximately 19.7 billion won). He returned to the United States.

For Son Ah-seop, who has never even been on the Korean Series stage and whose biggest dream is to win, Peddie’s departure is regrettable.

Son Ah-seop said, “There is a clear difference between having a 20-win pitcher and not having a 20-win pitcher. Of course, it’s disappointing,” he confessed.

But then he said, “I signed a very good contract. “I sincerely congratulate you,” he said. “It’s unfortunate, but most of my colleagues congratulated me because it was going well under good conditions.” 카지노사이트랭크

Peddy, who was hit on the right arm by a batted ball in the game against the KIA Tigers on October 16, his last appearance in the regular season, appeared in only one postseason game due to injury. Because of this, the ‘sabotage controversy’ arose.

However, Fedi maintained amicable relationships with his teammates throughout the season. After NC was eliminated from the playoffs, he shed tears and revealed his true feelings. After completing the season, he returned to the United States and made an unusual visit to Korea to coincide with the regular season awards ceremony schedule.

In addition, he did not spare advice to right-handers Young-gun and Shin Min-hyuk. Shin Min-hyuk showed off his growth by pitching well in 16 ⅓ innings and allowing 2 runs in 3 postseason games.

A-seop Son said, “Playing on the same team as a great player was a good memory and experience for me. “Pedi was a very good teammate, and I was very touched,” he said. “I want to support him because I have only good memories.” “It will definitely do well in the U.S.,” he said.

He then added, “I think the status of Korean baseball can rise with Peddie’s return to MLB. “This could be an opportunity to promote NC to the United States,” he said, applauding again, saying, “This is something to be greatly celebrated.” 고스톱
