"Player request"

An NC club official said, "Moon Dong-joo said he wanted to meet Pedi to a foreign scout of Hanwha (on his way to Changwon). Hanwha's foreign scout was close to the pedi agent, so the position was completed," he explained. The agent in charge of pedi is Lee Jung-moon, general director of Boras Corporation Korea, and he was in charge of interpreting at NC in the past.

The meeting between Pedi and Moon Dong-ju deserves to be a hot topic. Moon Dong-joo is in his second year as a professional. On April 12, he put a 160.1km/h fastball into the catcher's mitt against the KIA Tigers in Gwangju. Moon Dong-joo was the first Korean pitcher to exceed 160km/h since 2011 when Sports2i, a baseball statistics company, introduced the Pitch Tracking System (PTS). He is also a promising player in the Hangzhou Asian Games (AG) baseball team.

Pedi is the best pitcher in the KBO League, aiming for a triple crown this season. Having readily accepted Moon Dong-joo's request for a meeting, he also asked the club for prior understanding to prevent possible misunderstandings. Rumor has it that he exchanged various stories about baseball with Moon Dong-joo. He helped Moon Dong-joo understand by actively explaining what he was curious about.

Pedi played in the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) until last season. MLB's career performance (6 years) has been 21 wins, 33 losses, and a 5.41 ERA. He has been responsible for more than 120 innings, playing the starting rotation for the second consecutive year since 2021. Last year's performance was 6 wins, 13 losses, and a 5.81 ERA. His career may be high, but Pedi was different. He has no qualms about revealing his know-how. It will reveal all kinds of pitches that can be sensitive.

Swiper, a type of modified slider, is one of them. Sweeper, the main weapon of Shohei Ohtani (LA Angels), is still an unfamiliar pitch in the KBO League. Several players want to know Pedi's swifter grip, and whenever that happens, Pedi "kindly" informs them. I don't care if it's a player from another team. A club official said, "I checked because I thought there might be an issue of exposure to power on the spot, but the coach (Kang In-kwon NC) also said it was okay if the player didn't matter. "If a former MLB player explains in detail a sweeper that is rare in Korea, wouldn't it be good for amateur players?" he welcomed.

Pedi said, "I'm sharing my know-how with the hope of being the best in each position while playing baseball," adding, "If the things I told Moon Dong-joo come out, wouldn't the league grow and become more fun baseball?" 토토사이트
