159km U.S. Navy Reserve ML Soft Landing Second Edmon Is It Possible
Can we see another Korean player wearing the Taegeuk mark in the future?
The U.S. “ESPN” reported on the 23rd (Korea Standard Time) that “right-hander Noah Song (26) will be converted to the reserve after serving in active duty and will join the Philadelphia Phillies Spring Camp.”
Noah Song, a Korean pitcher born to a Korean father and an American mother who moved to the U.S. at the age of five, has a unique career. He dominated the university stage as a cadet at the Naval Academy. In 58 games (54 starts), 334이닝3 innings, 32 wins, 13 losses, and an ERA of 2.37 428 strikeouts and WHIP 1.04 over the past four years.
Song’s potential to spray a fastball speed of 159 kilometers with a physique of 193 centimeters and 90 kilograms was evaluated as the second round of the draft. However, he was nominated by the Boston Red Sox in the fourth round of the 2019 draft due to the restrictions on his status as a military cadet and uncertainty about the future of military service. He was the third draft pick in history from the Naval Academy.
Since then, he has recorded a 1.06 ERA (2 earned runs in 17 innings) and 19 strikeouts in the bottom single A without winning or losing seven games, and also played for the U.S. national team in the 2019 WBSC Premier 12. His performance in the tournament was 1 hit, 2 walks, 6 strikeouts, and no runs in 5이닝3 innings.
However, Song’s major league challenge was stamped with a comma. The U.S. Department of Defense rejected Song’s application for postponement of service and entered the Naval Flight School in 2020. Eventually, Song received 18 months of flying school education.
However, after 18 months of training and completing the flight school rules, he gave up his service as an officer, and as the Navy accepted Song’s request, Song will continue his major league challenge. However, it is not a complete discharge. I have to continue my service as a reserve. ESPN explained, “If you serve on weekends once a month, for two weeks a year, you can continue your baseball career again.”
Song, who was nominated by Boston, was nominated by Philadelphia in the Rule 5 draft held last year. However, Philadelphia should leave Song in the 26-man roster this year. If Song does not stand out in spring camp, he must trade or waver. If the rest of the clubs on Waver do not make a claim, they may return to their original club, Boston.
The future of Song cannot be guaranteed because there has been a gap in practice for about three years. However, the potential itself is so great. Even if it only shows its previous appearance, it can make a soft landing in the Major League. It is expected that another Korean player will be able to play in the Major League 토토사이트
Tommy Edman (St. Louis), who became a member of the World Baseball Classic (WBC) this year, has a Korean mother. The middle name is Hyun-soo, which maintains the identity of Korean people. In addition, Dane Dunning (Texas), Mitch White (Toronto), and Rob Lefsnyder (Boston) continue to be Korean players. On top of that, Noah Song can also be listed.
If Song recovers his skills and makes a soft landing in the Major League by exploding his potential, he can also draw a scene as a Korean player in the next WBC tournament. Can we expect a second Edman from Noah Song?
