Korean fielder Bae Ji-hwan of the Pittsburgh Pirates of the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB), who returned from a wrist injury, has started to recover his condition by playing in a rehabilitation game.

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 had no hits in three at-bats.

Bae, who was exited from his team’s roster due to left hip injury ahead of the opening of the 2024 season, returned to the big league in late last month. However, he injured his right wrist again and was put on the disabled list as of Wednesday. In his first real game on the day after the injury, he grounded out two and struck out, and was replaced by a pinch hitter in the seventh inning.

The Pittsburgh Pirates announced on the 22nd that Bae, who was slowly speeding up his rehabilitation after being listed on the IL, will participate in a triple-A rehabilitation game for the first time to boost his senses. Bae played in eight big league games this season and posted a batting average of 0.208 (5 hits in 24 at-bats) and five points on the base (on-base plus slugging) of 0.477.

Meanwhile, Indianapolis scored five points in the bottom of the seventh inning when it was trailing 0-2, winning 5-2. 토토사이트 추천

He hit his 22nd home run of the season against the Los Angeles Angels, the “friendly team” he met for the first time since moving to the team, and was active with two hits, two walks, two RBIs and one run in two at-bats.

Ohtani started as the first designated hitter in the home game against the Angels at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on the 22nd (Korea time) and swung his fire bat.

His batting average for this season increased from 0.318, to 0.322. He ranks first overall in MLB in this category. 사설 토토사이트

His home runs, RBIs (55 points) and runs scored (60 points) kept him at the top of the National League.

Ohtani, who got on base with a walk in the first and third innings, hit a home run in the bottom of the fifth inning when he faced 0-0.

Ohtani, who took the batter’s box with two outs and a runner on the first base, hit Angels left-hander Matt Moore’s driven fastball to the center wall.

It was a big home run with a driving distance of 138.68 meters.

Ohtani hit in the eighth inning to complete a multi-hit (more than two hits in one game).

The Dodgers lost 2-3 in the 10th inning of extra time because other hitters remained silent despite Ohtani’s hard hit.

Ohtani, who will play as the first hitter since the Colorado Rockies on the 18th when Mookie Betts, the first hitter, left due to a broken left hand, has been active in the last five games with a batting average of 0.500, three homers and nine RBIs in 20 at-bats.

Ohtani played for the Angels from 2018 until last year when he first entered the U.S., but became a free agent and moved to the Dodgers. He played against the Angels for the first time on the day.

Korean utility man Bae Ji-hwan has come through with a big hit in his major league season debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates hours after getting called up from the minors.

Bae batted 1-for-3 with an RBI, two runs scored, a walk and a steal, as the Pirates rallied from a 6-1 deficit to beat the San Francisco Giants 7-6 at PNC Park in Pittsburgh on Tuesday (local time).

Bae was brought up from Triple-A Indianapolis earlier in the day and put into the starting lineup for his 2024 season debut, batting ninth and playing center field.

He grounded into a force-out in the 안전 bottom of the second but drew a walk in the fifth inning before stealing second base and later scoring on a force-out by Bryan Reynolds.

That run got the Pirates within two at 4-2, though the Giants added a run each in the seventh and eighth innings to build a 6-2 cushion.

The Pirates refused to go away and pulled even with a four-run ninth inning.

Bae stepped in with one out with the bases loaded and knocked in a run to make it 6-3 with a single off reliever Camilo Doval.

After the Pirates added two more runs, Bae scored the tying run on a double by Oneil Cruz.

The Pirates then walked off the Giants with a single by Nick Gonzales in the bottom of the 10th.

For the first time this season in Korean baseball, the Hanwha Eagles now find themselves in a place eerily familiar to them — at the bottom of the standings.

The combination of the Eagles’ 8-4 loss to the LG Twins and the Lotte Giants’ 10-6 victory over the Kia Tigers on Thursday night meant the Eagles and the Giants traded places.

The Giants had been in last place in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) since April 23, but clawed out of the cellar by sweeping the first-place Tigers at home in the southeastern city of Busan. Having won three straight, the Giants now sit at 18-27-2 (wins-losses-ties). For the month of May, they have the second-best record league wide at 10-6-1.

The Eagles, on the other hand, dropped to 19-29-1 Thursday, as their three-game winning streak was halted.

Much of the good vibes from earlier in the season has mostly disappeared for the Eagles as injuries began to pile up.

They were in first place 10 games into the season, with an 8-2 record. And this was before Ryu Hyun-jin, a former major league All-Star pitcher who had rejoined the Eagles in February, had even won a game.

Signing Ryu was a huge coup for the Eagles in the off-season. Even at age 37, the left-hander was expected to lead the way for what pundits saw as a strong rotation. Felix Pena and Ricardo Sanchez, the team’s two foreign starters, were back for another 추천 go after solid 2023 seasons. The reigning Rookie of the Year Moon Dong-ju appeared ready for a breakout. Kim Min-woo was deemed more than capable of holding down a spot in the back end.

The Eagles had made the postseason just once between 2008 and 2023, and had finished either last or second-to-last every season from 2019 to 2023. This was supposed to be the year when the dubious streak would end, and the Eagles’ quick start seemed to validate such preseason hype.

However, starting pitching has been one of the Eagles’ weaknesses so far. Ryu is 3-4 with an uncharacteristic ERA of 4.83, though he has pitched better lately. Both Pena and Sanchez are out with injuries. Sanchez, leading the rotation with a 3.35 ERA, has been out since May 17 with elbow problems. Pena took a batted ball off his pitching hand on May 15 and hasn’t pitched since. Kim underwent season-ending elbow surgery on April 30 after pitching in only three games. Moon was demoted to the minor league on April 29 after posting an 8.78 ERA through his first six starts, and only returned Tuesday this week.

Four Korean football clubs that have qualified for upcoming continental competitions have acquired necessary licenses.

The Korea Professional Football League (K League) said Ulsan HD, Pohang Steelers and Gwangju FC were licensed for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League Elite, while Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors were licensed for the AFC Champions League Two.

Starting in 2024, the AFC will run three levels of men’s club competitions, with the AFC Challenge League sitting at the bottom of the rung.

Ulsan and Pohang earned their spots in the Champions League Elite by winning the K League 1 title and the Korean FA Cup title.

Pohang had already qualified for the AFC event by finishing as the K League 1 runners-up behind Ulsan. When they won the FA Cup, Gwangju, after 카지노사이트킹 finishing third in the K League 1, were elevated to the Champions League Elite spot. Jeonbuk, who finished in fourth place, qualified for the Champions League Two.

The K League said an independent committee reviewed the four clubs’ license applications on Wednesday, and they were all approved Friday.

The committee looked into whether the applicants met AFC licensing regulations in five categories: sporting, infrastructure, personnel and administrative, legal and financial.

Gwangju FC play their K League matches at Gwangju Football Stadium, with a capacity of just 10,000, but they earned their Champions League license after agreeing to use Gwangju World Cup Stadium, which seats over 40,000, for AFC matches.

The approval for Jeonbuk’s license was granted on the condition that they will name a new full-time head coach by June 7.

They have been playing under assistant coach Park Won-jae as caretaker boss since Dan Petrescu resigned on April 6

Barcelona have sacked manager Xavi Hernandez, the La Liga club said on Friday, four weeks after confirming he would honor the last year of his contract and lead them through next season.

The decision ended months of arguments between Barca and Xavi who made 767 appearances as a midfielder for the Spanish giants and helped them win 25 major trophies.

“Today Friday, FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta has informed Xavi Hernandez that he will not be continuing as first team coach in the 2024-25 season,” Barcelona said in a statement.

“Barcelona wish to thank Xavi for his work as coach, as well as for his inimitable career as a player and as team captain, and wishes him every future success in the world.”

Barcelona will finish second in La Liga, at least nine points behind champions Real Madrid, and Xavi had announced in January that he would resign at the end of this season.

After discussions in April at Laporta’s home, however, Xavi reversed his decision and agreed to stay on with a series of unspecified conditions set by the club.

After winning La Liga last year in Xavi’s first season in charge, Barca was thrashed by Real in the Spanish Super Cup final in January, knocked out in the 온라인카지노 Copa del Rey quarterfinals by Athletic Bilbao and eliminated from the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain at the last-eight stage.

Xavi’s final game as manager will be Barca’s trip to Sevilla on Sunday

Korea will take seven international rookies to their upcoming pair of World Cup qualifying matches in June.

The Korea Football Association (KFA) on Monday released the 23-man squad list for South Korea’s World Cup qualifying contests against Singapore and China next month.

Korea will play their final two Group C matches next month to wrap up the second round of Asian qualification for the 2026 World Cup. On June 6, they will face Singapore at the National Stadium in Singapore. Five days later, Korea will host China at Seoul World Cup Stadium.

To be coached by caretaker manager Kim Do-hoon, Korea will feature seven players who have never previously played for the senior national team.

The group includes former stars of underage national teams in forward Oh Se-hun of FC Machida Zelvia, midfielder Bae Jun-ho of Stoke City, and defenders Hwang Jae-won of Daegu FC and Choi Jun of FC Seoul.

Oh, 25, helped Korea win the 2020 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Championship. Bae, 20, played in six of Korea’s seven 토토 matches during their run to the fourth-place finish at last year’s FIFA U-20 World Cup. Hwang, 21, and Choi, 24, both played on Korea’s gold medal-winning, under-24 squad at the Asian Games last fall in China.

Goalkeeper Hwang In-jae of Pohang Steelers, and defenders Park Seung-wook of Gimcheon Sangmu and Ha Chang-rae of Nagoya Grampus have been called up for the first time after never having represented the country at any age level. Hwang is the senior member of this trio at age 30, but he will likely be limited to a reserve role behind Jo Hyeon-woo, who has 31 caps.

They will join some of the usual suspects in longtime captain Son Heung-min, midfielders Lee Kang-in and Hwang In-beom, and defender Kim Jin-su.

Conspicuous by their absence will be defender Kim Min-jae and forward Cho Gue-sung.

Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who has continued to hit the highest level since June, has regained the top position in batting average. He seems to have resumed his move to the Triple Crown in the NL. 토토사이트 순위

Ohtani started as a leadoff designated hitter in a home game against the Los Angeles Angels at Dodger Stadium on the 22nd (Korea time) and showed a strong performance of two hits, two RBIs, one run and two walks in two at-bats.

This is the first time that Ohtani, who signed a 10-year, $700 million FA contract and wore a Dodgers uniform last winter, faced off against the “friendly” Angels. The Dodgers will play the second game of two consecutive home games against the Angels on the 23rd, and the second game of an away game will be held at the Angel Stadium on September 4-5. Therefore, Ohtani’s visit to his old home stadium, Angel Stadium, will take 74 days from now.

Ohtani was harsh even against his old teammates. Ohtani hit a home run that broke the 0-0 balance in his third at-bat. Entering the batter’s box with two outs and a runner on first base in the bottom of the fifth inning, Ohtani hit a two-run homer over the middle of left-hander Matt Moore. With the ball count of 1B1S, he hit a fastball in the middle of 91.1 miles, sending the ball well over the fence.

Ohtani hit his 22nd home run of the season with a 27 degree angle, 113.1 miles (182 kilometers) and a flying distance of 455 feet (138.7 meters). Ohtani accelerated his bid to become the home run king for the second consecutive year, widening his gap with Atlanta Braves’ Marcel Ozuna (20) in the NL home run category to two. He has already hit eight home runs in June.

In both previous at-bats, he drew walks. As the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the first inning, Ohtani drew a walk from Angels left-hander Patrick Sandoval. He also drew a walk the second at-bat with one out and a runner on the second base in the third inning when the game was 0-0. In the full count, Sandoval’s seventh pitch, 89.3 miles from his body, became a high ball. Immediately after, however, Sandoval shook his left arm and sent a signal to the dugout. It was because of pain in his left hand. After the trainer rushed to the mound to check his condition, the pitcher was replaced.

The Dodgers took the lead in the fifth inning with Ohtani’s first two-run shot, but the Angels recovered two runs in the top of the sixth inning with one out and a bases-loaded walk by Jack Neto and Mickey Moniac’s grounder to the second base to tie the game 2-2.

Ohtani had an infield hit at the fourth batter’s box, with one out and one out, in the eighth inning when the game was tying 2-2. His powerful hitting of a splitter in the middle of the second pitch by Luis Garcia hit the pitcher’s glove and passed back, living at the first base. However, Ohtani failed in his attempt to steal second base at Freeman’s at-bat with two outs, and the inning was over as it was.

The game was decided in the 10th inning of overtime. The Angels took a 3-2 lead with Taylor Ward’s left-handed hit at the top of the 10th inning with two outs and a third base runner, and the Dodgers knelt down with Kikke Hernandez and Gavin Lux striking out swinging at the third base with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning.

Ohtani overwhelmed his former pitchers, but the Dodgers’ lineup was overwhelmed by the Angels’ mound. Ohtani, who took the lead in NL home runs against the Colorado Rockies on the 21st, regained his batting lead by hitting multiple hits on the day. Ohtani, who had been second with a batting average of 0.318 up until the previous day, became the leading hitter in the NL with a batting average of 0.322 (96 hits in 298 at-bats), beating over the San Diego Padres’ Jurickson Profar (0.320).

He ranks first in seven NL categories including home runs and batting average, scoring (60), slugging percentage (0.628), OPS (1.026), slugging (45) and Ruta (187). Combining these, bWAR (4.3) and fWAR (4.1) were also No. 1.

Now, if he secures an RBI single, the triple crown will remain solid. The RBI single is ranking third in the NL. It is possible to overturn Marcell Ozuna of the Atlanta Braves, who is ranking first, anytime. It was 87 years ago that a triple crown came from the NL. St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Joe Medwick was named the NL MVP in 1937 when he achieved the triple crown with a batting average of 0.374, 31 homers and 154 RBIs.

The two teams already met last April. In the first series of the season, San Diego recorded a winning series with two wins and one loss. Also, San Diego recently escaped from consecutive losses and moved to second place in the NL West. On top of that, Kim Ha-sung also plans to recover his batting performance at home. 토토사이트 추천

“Awesome Kim” Kim Ha-sung will try to lead the team’s victory against Milwaukee again this time. Kim Ha-sung, who played in three consecutive away games in Milwaukee in April, led the team to the winning series by making three hits in 10 at-bats, four RBIs, one home run and three walks. Attention is focusing on whether Kim Ha-sung, who met Milwaukee for the first time in about two months since April, will hit hard again this time.

Kim Ha-sung is ranked first in the team with a walk-through based on his outstanding batting eye and sense of base running this season, but his bat has cooled down for a while. Kim Ha-sung’s batting sense, which has been struggling with a batting average of 0.143 in the last seven games, is also faltering compared to June last season. Can Kim Ha-sung, who recently showed relatively good performance by recording five hits, two homers and four walks in 21 times at bat in seven recent Petco Park games, succeed in recovering his batting sense at home? As he is qualifying as an FA at the end of this season, Kim Ha-sung’s batting average is now desperately needed.

The first of the four consecutive games between Milwaukee and San Diego, which they met for the first time in about two months, will be broadcast live exclusively on TV channels SPOTV Prime+ and sports OTT channel SPOTV NOW at 10:40 a.m. on Friday, the 21st.
