The Hanwha Eagles finally found a foreign hitter to replace O’Grady.
I tried to find an alternative in the US, including the major leagues, but ultimately failed. I had no choice but to recruit a player playing in the Mexican League.토토사이트
Hanwha said on the 18th, “We signed a contract with Nick Williams, who was playing in the Mexican League, for a total of $450,000.”
He wasn’t the first player to be scouted. He put a lot of effort into recruiting better players.
But in the end he couldn’t achieve his will.
A Hanwha official said, “We tried to recruit the best card we could bring, but by the time we contacted them, most of the players were called up to the major leagues or would seek to enter the major leagues even after signing a minor league contract. I had no choice but to turn my attention outside the United States. I came into contact with a player who was performing the best in the Mexican League. That player is Williams.”
A lefty outfielder, Williams made his big league debut in 2017 with the Philadelphia Phillies. That year, he hit 12 home runs, showing off his skills as a long-range catcher.
He also hit 17 home runs in the 2018 season. He has been noted as a player with the ability to hit a single shot at any time.
His career major league performance was 294 appearances, a batting average of .251, 31 home runs, 110 RBIs, and 109 runs scored.
However, since last year, he has only played in the Mexican League.
His Mexican League record was outstanding. He played for the Toros de Tijuana last year and had a batting average of 0.370, 29 homers and 72 RBIs. He ranked at the top of the hitting rankings in every category.
He maintained a good record this season with a batting average of 0.304, 9 homers and 28 RBIs.
The Mexican League is a typical riding-two-jeering league. It can be said that it is difficult to trust and leave the batting results of the Mexican League as they are.
In particular, most of the pitchers enter the game quickly with a fast ball rather than using various breaking balls. The biggest challenge is whether he can adapt well to pitchers who use various breaking balls like in the KBO League.
Williams can be said to be such a case. Especially in the Mexican League, the strikeout rate was high. He could be all or nothing considering he played in the Mexican League.
However, Hanwha was suffering from an extreme thirst for home runs. Even if his batting average dropped a bit, he needed a hitter who could hit a home run. This is why I have high hopes for Williams despite my anxiety.메이저도메인
A new foreign hitter who came over from the extreme riding and fighting league. It remains to be seen if he can reduce strikeouts, maintain home runs, and give strength to Hanwha’s batting line.
