“Triple A is difficult” again criticism… Former colleague Lee Seung-yeop of ‘Legend-born’ is also frustrated

At this point, Shintaro Fujinami of the Oakland Athletics is being treated as a ‘public enemy’ by fans as well as the media. He has been criticized for being unfiltered and raw. For good reason. Because it’s such a serious failure.

After the 2022 season ended, Fujinami expressed his intention to advance to the major leagues by mentioning his “dream.” It is true that it did not seem easy for her to advance to the big leagues as her recent performance in Japan was not good. However, Scott Boras, who is called the ‘Devil’s Agent’, emphasized Fujinami’s possibility of success and started active sales, leading to a contract with Auckland for 3.25 million dollars (about 4.3 billion won) for one year.

Compared to the contracts of Masataka Yoshida (Boston, 5 years, $90 million) and Senga Kodai (New York Mets, 5 years, $75 million), who entered the major leagues after the 2022 season, Fujimani’s ransom is absurdly low. But $3.25 million isn’t a small amount, considering he’s only won 22 games in his last seven seasons.

As it was a ‘dream from childhood’, Fujinami seemed well prepared for the season. He did not completely shake off his chronic control problem, but Fujinami took the mound in 5 exhibition games and struck out 20 while throwing 18⅔ innings, going 3-0 with an earned run average of 3.86. As a result, he succeeded in getting a spot on the starting lineup.

However, after the regular season began, results different from the demonstration games began to pour in, whether the major league players had changed or Fujinami was the problem. In his first start in his debut against the Los Angeles Angels, Fujinami gave up a whopping 8 runs in 2⅓ innings and went down the mound. Even in his second appearance, the results were disappointing as he gave up 5 runs in 4⅓ innings. 카지노사이트

Fujinami showed a quality start pitching (less than 3 earned runs in 6 innings) with 3 runs in 6 innings for the first time in his third appearance, when he had adjusted to the major leagues to some extent. But he plummeted again, giving up 8 runs in 2⅓ innings against the Texas Rangers. After the game against Texas, criticism towards Fujinami was flooded.

During his active career, he played for the Yakult Swallows, Yomiuri Giants, and Yokohama DeNA Baystars, such as eating rice with manager Lee Seung-yeop of Doosan Bears, and played 1744 games in 13 seasons in Japanese professional baseball, recording 2017 hits, 380 homers, 1272 RBIs, a batting average of 0.301 OPS of 0.859, and Former manager Alex Ramirez, who served as Yokohama’s command tower from 2016 to 2020 after retiring, also joined the movement.
