Doosan Bears manager Lee Seung-yeop expressed his anticipation for Brandon Waddell, a new foreign pitcher who is about to be recruited.
On the 8th, Doosan announced a waiver for foreign pitcher Dylan Pyle, who was suffering from an injury. Dylan, who left last month due to an elbow injury, complained of pain again during the rehabilitation process, making his return uncertain, and Doosan, unable to delay any longer, eventually decided to break up.
Doosan, which carried out a list of substitute players early on, decided to re-recruit Brandon, who played for Doosan last year. Brandon, who wore a Doosan uniform as a substitute for Ariel Miranda last year, had a decent record of 5 wins and 3 losses and an ERA of 3.60 in 11 games.
Brandon, who failed to renew his contract with Doosan after the season, entered the Taiwan Professional Baseball League and played for the Rakuten Monkeys. This season, he recorded 5 wins and 4 losses with an ERA of 2.85, but he received a love call from Doosan and was about to return.
Manager Lee, who met ahead of the KIA Tigers game in Jamsil on the 9th, said, “I heard that the agreement was over. I think it will be possible to start at the end of this month at the latest. I think we made the best choice among the players currently available for recruitment. The club moved quickly,” he said. welcomed
“I didn’t get a big impression when I saw it last year, but when I saw it again, I could freely use a fast ball of 150km and a breaking ball. I have experience in the KBO League and I kept the starting rotation in Taiwan, so I don’t think there will be any problems adapting.” added.
Doosan maintains a mid-ranking position while enduring well even with Dylan, Kwak Bin, and Choi Won-joon missing three starting resources due to injuries and sluggishness. As of the 9th, the average ERA of Doosan starters is 3.60, which is 4th in the league.토토사이트
Regarding this, Coach Lee gave credit to the coaching staff, saying, “It is thanks to the pitching coach. Despite the sluggishness and injuries of the starting pitchers, we were able to endure well because we showed good teamwork by joining forces with the training part.”
