What is the special command Yang Yu-ji gave to Kwak Bin?
The Dodgers, a prestigious Major League Baseball (MLB) team, will play two consecutive games against the San Diego Padres at the MLB World Tour Seoul Series at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 20th and 21st. They arrived in Korea through Incheon International Airport on the 15th and are staying in Seoul.
On the 18th, he also played a warm-up match against Team Korea, which is composed of young Korean national team players. Kwak Bin was selected as the ace of Team Korea and started the game against Dodgers.
Yang Eui-ji brought up Kwak Bin's name while praising his junior pitchers in relay at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon, where an exhibition game against the Hanwha Eagles was held on the same day. "Kwakbin promised to win 15 games this year. I believe he will do well," he said. "I asked him to get an autograph from Dodgers Betts, but I'm looking forward to it."
Dodgers is full of star players including Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Glasnow and Freddie Freeman, starting with Shohei Ohtani, a "700-million-dollar man." However, there is a reason why Yang chose Betts. The two players are friends on social media who "counterattacked" each other's Instagram accounts.
Yang Eui-ji shyly said, "Me and Betts are each other's Instagram followers," hinting, "Of course, I followed Betts first, but I don't know when, but Betts followed him back at some point."
Yang Eui-ji was already a long-time fan even before Betts followed his Instagram. Yang Eui-ji said, "Even for the same baseball player, Betts is really cool. I think the play itself is a cool player. It's an honor to be able to fight back."
Betts is a special outfielder who has been selected as an All-Star six times, boasting top-notch MLB skills in offense, defense, and base running. He also received six gold gloves for the player who defended best in the league.
He became the MVP of the American League in 2018 when he was a member of the Boston Red Sox, and led his team to the World Series championship, and successfully signed a massive contract worth a total of 365 million dollars for 12 years with the Dodgers in 2020. After moving to the team, Yang Eui-ji boasted his popularity by ranking No. 1 in overall uniform sales in MLB for two consecutive years. Yang Eui-ji deserves to express his "fan heart" through SNS.
Yang Eui-ji said, "I gave some pocket money to Kwak Bin, Lee Byung-hun, and Kim Taek-yeon (from Doosan, who joined Team Korea) to go and buy something delicious." It's not a big amount, but he emphasized, "I have to get a Betts signature," adding, "That didn't mean, 'If you don't get an autograph, return the money."
Of course, Yang Eui-ji's heart is leaning more toward his teammates who are always with him than his MLB counterparts across the sea. The "comfort women" he handed to junior pitchers who have to leave the team for a while is a warm encouragement and concern from his seniors who have to take care of them throughout the season. The "Mookie Betts sign" served as a good excuse to express his feelings.
Yang Eui-ji said, "Kwakbin is a young player, but he seems to have the ball power to challenge MLB. His fastball speed is about 150 kilometers per hour on average, and there are many pitches. Even if he gets hit coolly, I hope he comes back after confidently sticking around like he said."
Kwak actually induced a foul fly to the third baseman by throwing a fastball of up to 155 kilometers per hour to Ohtani, the top star of the Dodgers. The final result was two innings, one hit, two walks, two strikeouts and one run. He completed his mission and completed the journey of Team Korea. This year's first-round pick, rookie Kim Taek-yeon, also impressed by striking out Teoscar Hernandez and James Outman in succession in the sixth inning 안전 토토사이트
