Edwin Diaz of the New York Mets, one of the best closers in the U.S. Major League Baseball (ML), will not be able to play due to the use of foreign substances. 토토사이트 꽁머니

The ML secretariat said on the 25th (Korea Standard Time) that “Diaz, who was sent off for violating foreign substance regulations the day before, will be suspended for 10 games.”

Diaz took the mound with a 5-2 lead in the bottom of the ninth inning against the Chicago Cubs on the 24th and was sent off after a sticky foreign substance was found in his hand. Before he was sent off, Diaz asked the referee to smell his hand, saying, “It’s because it’s a mixture of rosin, sweat and dust.”

However, referee Big Karapaza, who sent Diaz off, said, “It wasn’t just rosin and sweat, as he claimed. I know how he feels after checking his hands thousands of times. But his hands were very sticky, and I could immediately tell it was a substance other than rosin.”

In the end, Diaz was given a 10-game ban like other pitchers whose foreign substances were detected. Diaz can appeal, but the punishment for foreign substances has never been reduced.

Diaz became the first bullpen pitcher to surpass $100 million in down payment when he signed a five-year, $102 million (about 141.3 billion won) contract with the Mets in November 2022.

Aaron Brooks is called up again.

The Oakland Athletics announced on the 24th (Korea Standard Time) that they signed a major league contract with right-hander Brooks.

Brooks is expected to replace Danny Jimenez on the 15-day injured list. 토토사이트 순위

Brooks, 34, signed a minor league contract with the Athletics last winter and was called up last month with key veterans including Alex Wood, Ross Stripling and Paul Blackburn injured.

Brooks had a 5.82 ERA and FIP 5.59 in 21 2/3 innings in four starts. His strikeout rate was 6% and his walk rate was 10%.

Brooks was transferred to Triple-A earlier this month after right-hander Luis Medina was released from the 60-day IL.

This time, he will reportedly be used as a long relief pitcher, not a starter.

Paul Skins, a prospect who was the No. 1 overall draft pick last year, looked back on his appearance.

The Pittsburgh Pirates’ Skins started the home game against the Tampa Bay Rays at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the 24th (Korea Standard Time), and allowed six hits, one homer, one walk, eight strikeouts and one run in seven innings.

He posted an average fastball speed of 99.4 miles on the day, the fastest 101.5 miles in the game on his 98th ball. 토토사이트 순위

“Honestly, I was a little surprised myself,” he said of the situation at the time, who came into the dugout with a smile after striking out swinging with this ball.

He said, “I was in good condition enough to throw long enough today, but I didn’t expect such a fastball to come out because such a fastball did not come out in the previous pitch.”

Although the average fastball pitcher tends to have less speed as the number of pitches increases, he showed a different appearance.

“This is my identity as a pitcher,” he said. “My identity is to maintain my pitching capability and speed until the end. I think my ball speed is an indicator of how I maintain my pitching capability. I don’t know what the secret is, but it’s good to be able to do so anyway.”

His appearance today impressed not only the spectators who visited the stadium but also his teammates.

Collin Holderman, who pitched in the eighth inning, said, “Everyone saw the speed limit and they couldn’t believe it. I knew he could throw such a speed limit, but it’s really special for him to keep the speed limit until the second half of the game.”

Manager Derek Shelton said, “It was really good. The opposing batters were aiming for a fastball. I hit a home run at the beginning of the game, but it was a homerun just because of the gap between the foul pole and the ball.”

“Knowing that today’s opponent is aiming for a fastball, he was good at controlling other pitching types. Usually, when facing a pitcher who throws a fastball like this, he usually hits the hardest pitch. It’s good that he has another weapon in this situation. He has shown how he has used it in the past few appearances,” he continued.

“If your opponent doesn’t hit the fastball, you won’t have to make adjustments. However, your opponent showed how you hit the ball, and you needed to make other adjustments,” Skins said, acknowledging the need for adjustments.

Regarding the homerun that Yandy Diaz allowed in the first inning, he said, “It didn’t look like a strong hit, but I was surprised to see it go over. I didn’t even know that the wind was blowing like that. Of course, wind was not the only reason. The opponent batter also hit the ball well enough. However, seeing the ball come directly into the foul pole, and I naturally made me smile. It was like, ‘That’s great,'” he said, explaining how he felt at the time.

Pittsburgh lost 1-3 despite good pitching by Skins. It was regrettable that Holderman allowed two runs in the eighth inning.

Holderman said, “Sometimes even a missed ball can fall into a defensive gap and become a hit. He gave up a hit that broke the bat to the first batter, and then there was the opponent’s hit and run. Momentum passed here. I tried to block it, but the opponent swung well. I will not despair too much and prepare for the next game.”

Shelton said, “The ball was a little crowded in the middle, but the hit that Josh Lowe allowed was a double play. Holderman has consistently shown good performance and there have been some mistakes today,” he said of Holderman’s pitch.

What was more regrettable was that the team had only one run. “We knew that the opposing team would be mobilized as the opposing bullpen was well rested, and we put the opposing team into action as well,” Shelton said. “We knew that the opposing team would come out, but we failed to target it properly.”

“I think we need to create more chances, just like we did in the eighth inning. Looking at the opponent’s attack in the eighth inning, Lowe’s hit went through between the first and second bases, but it wasn’t a hard hit either. O’Neill Cruz’s strong hit caught the front of the fielder. That’s how we made the difference. We hit a lot of strong hits, but we got caught in front of the fielder. I think Jose Siri (Tampa Bay center fielder) made the difference in this series. He showed really good defense,” he said, looking back on this series.

The Cleveland Guardians, which slumped below the 50% winning rate last year, have shown remarkable improvement in just one season, leading the entire American League.

Cleveland had a home game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio on the 24th (Korea time). 토토사이트 추천

On this day, Cleveland won a thrilling one-point victory of 6-5 amid the performances of Stephen Kwan and the relief team, who are becoming the god of contact.

Thanks to its five-game winning streak, the Cleveland Indians ranked first in the league with 49 wins and 26 losses and a 0.653 win rate. The New York Yankees’ winning rate is 0.650 percent.

Of course, there is a gap in the strength of other teams in the American League East and Central. However, the fact that Cleveland topped the league with a 50% win rate last year is certainly meaningful.

Cleveland starter Triston McKenzie lasted just three innings. However, the iron wall relief team allowed two runs through the remaining six innings.

In addition, the batters scored three points in the third inning, trailing 1-3, with three hits and two walks, and Kwan and Josh Naylor hit home runs in the fourth inning.

In the fifth inning, Darren McCohan allowed two runs, but from the sixth inning, Cleveland’s relief team showed an iron wall and maintained a one-point lead.

In particular, closer Emmanuel Clase roared at the ninth inning with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, catching the last batter George Springer. He made 24 saves for the season.

Tim Herrin, who was Cleveland’s second pitcher and allowed no runs in one inning, took his third win of the season, and Toronto starter Yusei Kikuchi lost the game with four runs in two innings.

In addition, Kwan, Naylor and multi-hit Jose Ramirez and Angel Martinez, who hit home runs, performed well in Cleveland’s lineup.

Notably, Kwan, who recorded his seventh homer of this season, continued his remarkable performance with a batting average of 0.390 and an OPS of 1.023. The god of contact is reborn as the god of hitting.

Now, Cleveland will play three consecutive away games against the Baltimore Orioles from the 25th to the 27th. After that, three consecutive away games are waiting for the Kansas City Royals.

Scherzer started the home game against the Kansas City Royals in the 2024 Major League Baseball at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas on the 24th (Korea Standard Time) and won the game with five innings of one hit, four strikeouts and no runs. 토토사이트 순위

His pitching was overwhelming, which was unprecedented for him to return to injury. After a clean three-out inning with one strikeout against Nick Loftin, Bobby Witt Jr. and Vinny Pasquantino in the top of the first inning, he showed off his powerful pitching by hitting 13 hitters in a row until he got a two-base hit against MJ Melendez after one out in the top of the fifth inning.

Melendez’s double struck out Hunter Renfroe and struck out Nelson Velazquez, who grounded out to second, to overcome the crisis. Scherzer gave up the mound to Jose Urena in the top of the sixth inning when his team led 3-0. He pitched 57 strikes (39).

Scherzer, who boasts an annual salary of 43.3 million U.S. dollars, went through a long tunnel of rehabilitation after undergoing back disc surgery in December last year. Since then, he has elevated his senses to one loss and 4.91 ERA without winning three Minor League Triple-A games, and became the winning pitcher for the first time in 285 days since the game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sept. 13 last year.

Scherzer added four more strikeouts on the day, elevating his career to 3,371 strikeouts. It was the moment when he tied for 11th in strikeouts in the history of Major League Baseball along with legendary golfer Greg Maddox. Texas, which is ranked third in American League West, beat Kansas City 4-0 to sweep the three consecutive games for a four-game winning streak.

The game was decided in the bottom of the fourth inning. With first-runner Adolis Garcia walking and Nathaniel Lowe hitting an infield hit, Wyatt Langford hit an RBI double, and Leody Tavares hit a timely two-run homer to left. Josh Smith, the first-runner in the bottom of the seventh inning, hit a solo homer to seal the victory.

Edwin Diaz (30, New York Mets), who was sent off after being caught in a foreign substance test before taking the mound, will not be able to play for the time being.

U.S. sports channel ESPN reported on Monday (Korea time) that Diaz has been disciplined by the Major League Baseball secretariat. He has been suspended for 10 games.

The New York Mets had an away game with the Chicago Cubs on Monday. They led the game 5-2 until the ninth inning of offense. As a result, the New York Mets decided to put in Diaz, the closer.

However, Diaz was pointed out about the use of foreign substances in the referee’s palm test before taking the mound. Diaz’s palm was quite spotty in the game camera.

In the end, Diaz was ejected. Afterwards, he allowed two thirds of New York Mets Drew Smith and one third of Jake Deakman to keep a three-run lead.

Diaz, who is in his eighth year in the Major League, has been on the injured list after being sluggish this season, and has pitched stably since his recent return.

He pitched 23 innings in 23 games of the season until last Wednesday, recording 2-1 with seven saves, two holds, four blon saves and an ERA of 4.70. He has 33 strikeouts. 토토사이트 순위

Recently, he seemed to recover his reputation by allowing no runs in three consecutive games after returning from injury. However, he was disgraced due to disciplinary action after being caught with foreign substances.

“Mad Max” Max Scherzer (Texas Rangers), who returned from long rehabilitation, announced a spectacular return by pitching in a stable game. In addition, he matched Greg Maddox in his career strikeout count.

Scherzer started at a home game against the Kansas City Royals at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas on Monday, and allowed one hit, four strikeouts and no run in five innings. Texas won 4-0, and Scherzer won a thrilling victory in his return match.

Scherzer underwent back disc surgery in December last year and went into rehabilitation for a long time. Initially, he seemed to be able to return to the team only after this summer. However, he recovered faster than expected, and eventually got to return to the team ahead of schedule.

Scherzer threw only 57 pitches as it was his first appearance in a long time. The strike-ball ratio was 39-18, and the maximum speed of his fastball was 94.3 miles (151.8 kilometers).

It was a perfect pitch for a pitcher who returned from long rehabilitation. Scherzer struck out three and didn’t run a single runner until the top of the fourth inning. With one out in the top of the fifth inning, M.J. Melendez allowed his first on-base hitters to hit a recognition double, which stopped him from hitting the third base. 토토사이트 순위

Scherzer added four strikeouts on the day, and tied for 11th in MLB history along with Maddox with 3,371 strikeouts. He has 22 more strikeouts than Justin Verlander (Houston, 3,393). However, as Verlander is currently out due to injury, Scherzer has a chance to narrow the gap.

Ko Woo-suk, a member of the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, a triple-A club under the Miami Marlins in the U.S. professional baseball league, took the mound in the fifth inning with his team leading 1-0 in an away game against the Memphis Redbirds (under the St. Louis Cardinals) in Memphis, Tennessee, on the 23rd (Korea time), giving up three hits and allowing one run in two innings.

In the fifth inning, Ko was hit with a 142 km/h fastball on the second pitch that he threw to Nick Dunn, the first batter, and allowed a solo shot to tie the game. This is the first homerun Ko has allowed since his advance to the U.S.

After the home run, Ko was shaken. He was on the verge of losing a point by allowing Victor Scott II, the next batter, to steal second base. However, he handled the following three hitters as a hitter to end the inning. 토토사이트 추천

After taking the mound in the sixth inning with one out, Ko had a hit to the right by Jared Young. Then, he grounded out Alfonso Rivas in front of the first baseman and Archimedes Gamboa in a fly ball to the center field to end the inning without allowing a run.

In the ensuing attack, Jacksonville scored two runs in the top of the seventh inning to turn the tables, and Ko Woo-seok, who pitched two innings with a 3-1 finish, became the winning pitcher.

With the victory, Ko earned his second win (two losses, one save and two holds) in the U.S. Major League Baseball. His earned run average (ERA) was 3.90 and Triple-A was 3.52.

On May 19 (Korea Standard Time), he posted an ERA of 0.84. He was writing the legend of a fastball of 148 kilometers per hour. He was considered an “unheated” pitcher.

However, the team was definitely in the Major League. After adapting himself to the sport, hitters are hitting the batter as if they were batting balls.

When they allowed seven runs on May 30, people were not too concerned, saying, ‘It could happen.’

However, he tilted his head when he scored five days in his next appearance.

He gained momentum by allowing two runs and one run on June 10 and June 16, respectively.

However, during three innings against the New York Mets on Tuesday, the Mets gave up as many as 10 runs after 11 hits. Mets batters were like hitting a batting ball.

This is the story of Shota Imana (Chicago Cubs). 토토사이트 순위

Imanaga, who was on a roll as a sensation at the beginning of the season, had a sudden break. He just became that kind of starting pitcher.

Imanaga’s speed on the day was lower than usual for almost all types of pitches. The average four-seam speed was 91.8 miles (148 kilometers) this season, but it was 90.1 miles (145 kilometers) on the day. The average splitter was 83.2 miles (134 kilometers) on the day, but only 82.2 miles (132 kilometers) on the day. The sweeper averaged 82.0 miles (132 kilometers) on the day, but it was 80–1 miles (129 kilometers) on the day.

In the Major League, if the ball speed drops even a little, it will be hit as it is.

“At the beginning of the game, Imanaga told local reporters that he planned to drop the ball speed and slowly raise it,” he said after the game.

Imanaga’s average difference point soared to 2.98. It is a two-point increase in just one month.

On this day, the Cubs suffered a crushing defeat of 1-11.

Korean fielder Bae Ji-hwan of the Pittsburgh Pirates of the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) played in a rehabilitation game and checked his condition for the first time since he injured his right wrist and went on the injured list (IL). 토토사이트 추천

Bae Ji-hwan played as the No. 1 hitter center fielder for the Indianapolis Indians under Pittsburgh in the minor league Triple-A game against the Iowa Cubs (under the Chicago Cubs) at Victory Field in Indianapolis, Indiana on the 22nd (Korea time) and finished with no hits in three at-bats.

Bae grounded out two and struck out, and was substituted as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning. Bae was promoted to the big league in late last month after playing for Indianapolis, and has been listed as injured as of April 4 due to symptoms of sprained right wrist.

The Pittsburgh club predicted on the 22nd that Bae Ji-hwan, who was slowly speeding up his rehabilitation after listing on the IL, will play in a triple-A rehabilitation game for the first time and raise his senses, and will return to the big league soon.
