Professional baseball SSG Landers held a ‘Vision Seminar’ for Futures (2nd team) players.
SSG said on the 14th, “Yesterday, we held a vision seminar at Ganghwa SSG Futures Field.
The vision seminar was part of a mental coaching program in which all 36 SSG Futures fielders and pitchers participated, and the Korea NLP Coaching Center (Sports Mental Coaching) course.
“It was conducted by Coach Iseul Kim, who completed the course,” he said.
The players shared their life values and beliefs and took the time to answer the question, ‘What kind of person and player do you want to be remembered as?’
We discussed the sense of accomplishment that can be gained by setting up a ‘Dream List’ of 10 things you want to achieve, including monthly and annual goals, and achieving them.
Pitching Coach Kim I-seul said, “Rather than setting a goal of numerical baseball records, I hope that young players will think about their own ‘life vision’ through a broad perspective, as the standards for happiness in life are diverse.”
He added, “Reflect on their talents and strengths.”
“Looking at it can increase your self-esteem, and positive thoughts will have a positive impact on baseball as well,” he said.
Futures coach Son Si-heon dissuaded front office staff and coaches from attending the seminar so that the players could communicate in a free atmosphere.
Pitcher Joo-on Kim said, “Every year, I set a short-term record goal at the beginning of the season, so I was disappointed when I couldn’t achieve it.
Rather than being buried in baseball, I was able to increase my self-esteem by spending time thinking about the future I ultimately want.
“I was able to set new goals,” he said.
SSG Futures Team will leave for Chiayi, Taiwan on the 15th to train overseas.
Bae Ji-hwan (25), who plays for the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians of the Pittsburgh Pirates organization, leads the league in batting average and slugging percentage.
Bae started in center field and went 4-for-6 with a leadoff home run, three RBIs, and two runs scored in the Triple-A Indians’ 16-10 win over the Toledo MudHens (Detroit Tigers) at Victory Field in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, on April 19th.
In his first at-bat of the game, he took a 93.6 mph (150.6 km/h) four-seam fastball right down the middle of the plate from Toledo right-hander Ty Maddon for a solo shot to center field. It was his fourth home run of the season, measuring 107 mph (172.2 km/h), 441 feet (134.4 meters) and 25 degrees of launch.
Bae, who drew a full-count walk with Maddon in the second inning, followed with a two-run single to right in the fourth, then drove a three-pitch slider from left-hander Andrew Vazquez to left field. 스포츠토토 In the eighth inning, he took a 51.7-mile-per-hour (83.2-kilometer-per-hour) fastball from pitcher Riley Unroh and smashed a two-run double to center field.
Through 25 games of the Triple-A season,
Bae is batting .478 with four home runs, 14 RBIs, 22 runs scored, 19 walks, 32 strikeouts, seven stolen bases, a .559 slugging percentage and a 1.037 OPS in 93 at-bats. First in the International League (IL) in batting average, first in slugging percentage, and sixth in OPS.
With stats like that, he should be getting a major league call-up, but Pittsburgh hasn’t called him yet. The Pirates are 21-26 (.447 winning percentage) and in third place in the NL Central, but their weaknesses are their offense, which ranks 26th in team batting average (.225) and 28th in OPS (.651). They are also 23rd in stolen bases (22).
Bae’s main positions, second base and center field, are also very weak. This year, second baseman Jared Triolo is batting 2-for-4 (30-for-147) with two home runs, 15 RBIs, and a .550 OPS in 42 games, while center fielder Michael A. Taylor is batting 2-for-6 (24-for-111) with one home run and a .544 OPS in 38 games.
With such a weak outfield, Pittsburgh continues to look away from Bae Ji-hwan. The Pirates called up Nick Gonzalez and Alica Williams on Nov. 11 and 12, leaving Bae in the lineup. Williams (20 games, .232 with two homers and an OPS of .580) and Gonzalez (nine games, .233 with two homers and six RBIs and an OPS of .717), who have been serving as backup infielders, have not been competitive.
It’s time for a change for Pittsburgh, which is 4-7 in its last 11 games.
While the Pirates have been revitalizing on the mound with the recent call-up of Paul Skins, the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s draft, they need someone to spark the offense. The club’s conservative organization has slowed down the call-ups, but with his current performance, it’s hard to imagine Bae being overlooked any longer.
Bae, a right-handed hitter from Gyeongbuk High School, signed with Pittsburgh in March 2018 for a $1.25 million signing bonus. Bae, who became the 26th Korean-American major leaguer in history in September 2022, made the Opening Day roster last year and batted .296 (77-for-334) with two home runs, 32 RBIs, 54 runs scored, 30 walks, 92 strikeouts, 24 stolen bases, a .311 slugging percentage and a .607 OPS in 111 games. He was a utility player, splitting time between three infield positions: second base (56 starts in 64 games, 465⅓ innings), center field (33 starts in 62 games, 336⅔ innings), and shortstop (3 starts, 24 innings).
This year, he was hoping to make the jump to the full-time roster but was hampered by injuries. He was on pace to go 7-for-11 (2.7 RBI, 3 HR, 1 RBI) with four walks, four strikeouts, 온라인 슬롯 a 5 percent walk rate, and two stolen bases in seven exhibition games before suffering a left hip flexor strain in his final appearance on March 6 against the Toronto Blue Jays. After starting the season on the disabled list, Bae rehabbed the injury and returned to action at Single-A on March 8, and has been playing at Triple-A for over a month.
New York Mets slugging first baseman Pete Alonso (30) rejected a seven-year, $158 million (approx. 214.2 billion won) extension contract in June last year, it was revealed.
The New York Post reported on June 19 (KST) that the Mets offered Alonso a seven-year, $158 million contract extension through his then-agency, Apex Baseball. He was a year and a half away from free agency.
The Mets, then under general manager Billy Eppler, used Matt Olson, who signed an eight-year, $168 million extension with the Atlanta Braves before the 2022 season, as a benchmark. Olson was two years away from free agency. The Mets offered Alonso less total money than Olson, but with a higher average annualized value.
However, Alonso’s refusal to accept the offer led to a breakdown in negotiations, and the Mets even sat down with the Chicago Cubs at the July trade deadline. 안전놀이터 But the deal never materialized, and Alonso was off the trade block under new president of baseball operations David Stearns, who took over after the season. Rumor has it that Stearns didn’t want to start his tenure by trading away the team’s most popular player.
Both Stearns and Mets owner Steve Cohen are open to signing Alonso to an extension, but there’s a major twist.
Late last year, Alonso hired “super agent” Scott Boras. Alonso entered this season as a free agent with more enthusiasm than ever, but through 19 games, he is batting just .308 with 10 home runs, 23 RBI, 17 walks, 37 strikeouts, a .454 on-base percentage and a .762 OPS in 45 games (174 at-bats).
He’s still hitting for power with 10 home runs, but his slugging percentage, on-base percentage, and OPS are all at career lows. In 16 games in May, he’s 2-for-14 (63 at-bats) with two home runs, eight RBIs, and a .692 OPS. At this rate, he won’t get the seven-year, $158 million-plus contract he rejected last year.
“A center fielder who can consistently hit 40 homers, is durable, and can also play center field defense will not be available in free agency for the next few years,” Boras said. A player with his elite level of production and durability at his prime age is not available to most teams. He’s a proven player in New York.”
Boras is not exaggerating. Alonso, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound right-handed slugger, burst onto the scene in 2019, leading the National League (NL) in home runs (53) in his rookie year. In six seasons through this year, he’s batted .275 (675-for-275) with 202 home runs, 521 RBIs, a .340 OBP, .523 slugging percentage, and an .863 OPS in 729 games, and has been named an All-Star three times.
He has been a consistent home run producer since 2019, with 37 in 2021, 40 in 2022, and 46 in 2023.
He’s also healthy, having missed only 24 games since his rookie year, with a 96.8% fielding percentage. However, despite his 46 home runs last year, his batting production dipped to a .821 batting average (123-for-568) and .821 OPS, and this year has been even worse. He’s becoming more and more of a free agent, and it’s doubtful any team will be willing to give him a long-term deal.
Even with super-agent Boras by his side, teams aren’t so easily swayed anymore. Last winter, Cody Bellinger (Chicago Cubs – 3 years, $80 million), Blake Snell (San Francisco Giants – 2 years, $62 million), Matt Chapman (San Francisco – 3 years, $54 million), 에볼루션 바카라사이트 Jordan Montgomery (Arizona Diamondbacks – 1 year, $25 million), and other big free agents were treated like dirt and had to settle for deals that fell short of their expectations. Alonso is likely to follow the same path if he doesn’t rebound significantly over the rest of the season.
Shohei Ohtani (30) hit a walk-off single to lift the Los Angeles Dodgers to their third straight win.
Ohtani started in the No. 2 spot in the lineup and went 2-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI, one walk and three runs batted in, including the game-winning hit in the 10th inning of an extra-inning game against the Cincinnati Reds at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, USA, on Tuesday.
After going 0-for-4 with a walk in his first at-bat of the season the day before, Ohtani bounced back with a multi-hit performance. He raised his season batting average from 3-for-5 to 3-for-5.3 (66-for-187) and reclaimed the top spot from Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras (.341), who had led the league the previous day. Contreras went 0-for-5 against the Houston Astros on Sunday, dropping his batting average by nine points. Ohtani leads both leagues not only in batting average, but also in hits, slugging percentage (.657) and OPS (1.081).
In his first at-bat against Cincinnati right-hander Hunter Greene, Ohtani struck out swinging in the first inning. 카지노사이트 He swung at a 98.8 mph (159.0 km/h) four-seam fastball high and away from the plate.
In the fourth inning,
With two on and one out, he pushed Green’s three-seam 86.1 mph (138.6 km/h) splitter high and away from the plate, but it flew out of the left-field corner.
In the fifth inning, he walked on a pitch to second base. Grazed his left foot on an 88.3 mph (142.1 km/h) slider in the third inning. His first walk of the season.
In the eighth inning, batting leadoff, he hit an infield single off left-hander Sam Moll. He pulled an 81.7-mile-per-hour (131.5-kilometer-per-hour) sweeper five pitches outside and hit a grounder toward first base, then beat Moll to the bag for the infield hit.
With the score tied 2-2 in the 10th inning of extra innings, Ohtani ended the game. With runners on first and second, Mookie Betts singled straight up the middle, but Ohtani came through with the game-winning hit off Cincinnati closer Alex Diaz. He pulled a 94-mile-per-hour (151.3 km/h) four-seam fastball low and away from the body on the sixth pitch, sending it into the gap in right field to bring home Will Smith from second base for a 3-2 Dodgers victory.
It was Ohtani’s first walk-off hit as a Dodger.
His second career walk-off hit in four years and first since Sept. 5, 2020, against the Houston Astros while with the Los Angeles Angels. After being doused with water by his teammates, Ohtani told the local media, “It was nice to be able to hit in the clutch. It was a great moment and a special weekend. 파워볼실시간 I wanted to make sure I hit shots rather than long shots, so I’m happy it worked out.”
“If you don’t hit the ball for strikes in every at-bat, and you hit the ball for strikes, and you hit in the right situations, then inevitably your batting average will be good,” he said.
Ohtani’s walk-off win gave the Dodgers a three-game winning streak and a 32-17 record (.653 winning percentage), good for first place in the National League West. Cincinnati, which lost its third straight, dropped to 19-28 (.404 winning percentage) and remained in fifth place in the NL Central.
Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp pitcher Woo-seok Ko, 26, of the Miami Marlins’ affiliate Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, was shut down again after giving up four hits in two games at Triple-A.
Ko was shaken up in the eighth inning of a Triple-A game against the Nashville Sounds (affiliated with the Milwaukee Brewers) at 121 Financial Ballpark in Jacksonville, Florida, on Tuesday (Feb. 20), allowing two runs on four hits in one inning of relief. His Triple-A season ERA jumped from 1.80 to 4.50.
Entering the game as the third pitcher in the eighth inning with his team leading 6-1, Koo worked leadoff hitter Yoenis Hernandez with a two-strike count, but allowed a 130.2-mile-per-hour (80.9 mph) curveball low down the middle for a single to right.
The next batter, Chavez Young, 바카라사이트 induced a grounder to second base on a 92.8 mph (149.3 km/h) four-seam fastball two pitches outside the zone for a 4-6-3 double play.
He got two outs, but then gave up three straight hits and two runs. His second pitch, an 86.1 mph (138.6 km/h) changeup to Oliver Dunn, was high and away, and he gave up a two-run double to Tyler Black in left. Five pitches later, he threw a 92-mph (148.1-kilometer) fastball up and away, but it was caught.
The next batter, Isaac Collins, hit a triple.
He had a 1-2 pitch count, but was hit by an 84-mph (135.2-kilometer) slider on the fourth pitch for an RBI triple to left field. He ended the inning by getting Wes Clark to fly out to center field on a three-pitch 88.8 mph (142.9 km/h) cutter.
Totaled 19 pitches, 14 strikes and five balls. He used a mix of cutter (4), slider (3), changeup, and curve (1+) with a four-seam fastball (10) that topped out at 93.6 mph (150.6 km/h) and averaged 92.7 mph (149.2 km/h).
After signing a two-year, $4.5 million guaranteed deal with the San Diego Padres in January, 메이저 토토사이트 Gausman was cut from the opening day roster after struggling mightily in exhibition play, going 2-2 with a 12.60 ERA in six games (five innings).
He started the season with the Double-A San Antonio Missions to avoid the hitter-friendly Triple-A Pacific Coast League (PCL), where he went 2-1 with a 4.38 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 10 games (12⅓ innings).
He was traded to Miami for three prospects in exchange for slugger Luis Araez.
Gausman was assigned to Triple-A Miami immediately after the trade, and his 1.80 ERA in his first four starts (five innings) before the Nashville game on Aug. 18 has raised his chances of being promoted to the majors.
He was shaky in a multi-inning outing against Nashville on April 15, allowing one run on four hits with one walk and one strikeout in 1⅔ innings, but settled down in Nashville on April 18, allowing one run on one hit with one walk and one strikeout in one inning of scoreless relief. However, he was again hit by four hits, including two long balls, and allowed a career-high two runs. 바카라사이트 The road to the major leagues is not easy.

Some ejections are just plain crazy. New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone, 51, was ejected from the game for something a fan said.
Boone was ordered to leave the game against the Oakland Athletics in the first inning of the 2024 Major League Baseball World Series at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York, on Wednesday.
Here’s what happened. In the top of the first inning, Oakland first baseman Esther Lewis was hit on the right foot by a four-pitch body slider from Yankees starter Carlos Rodon on a two-strike count. In the process, Lewis took a check swing, which was not ruled a swing by the first base umpire and the plate umpire.
Boone came out of the first base dugout and appealed to umpire Hunter Wendelstedt, but his appeal was unsuccessful. Boone then returned to the first base dugout, 스포츠토토 and after Rodon threw a fastball to the next batter, Tyler Nevin, umpire Wendelstedt looked toward the first base dugout and ordered him out.
Hearing something from the first base side,
Wendelstedt thought Boone was complaining and ejected him. But the TV replays showed Boone chewing gum without saying anything. Stunned by the sudden ejection call, Boone steps back onto the field and gestures toward the stands, but the water has already spilled.
Someone in the stands behind the first base dugout appeared to yell at the umpire. A male fan, presumably a Yankees fan, complained, and Boone was falsely accused. With five pitches from starter Rodon, Boone was quickly ejected from the game.
The conversation between the manager and the umpire was broadcast on the YES Network, the Yankees’ main broadcaster. After the first appeal, umpire Wendelstedt told Boone, “Don’t yell at me. I did what I had to do, I checked with the first baseman. If you have anything else to say, stop. Do you understand?” he shot back.
He then said something to the first baseman, who immediately ordered him out. “I didn’t say anything,” Boone said, “and he’s up in the dugout. Yankees bench coach Brad Asmus said, “It was a fan,” but umpire Wendelstedt said, “It doesn’t matter who said it. You’re ejected,” Wendelstedt told Boone, who took a hard line.
According to local reports, including MLB.com,
Empire Wendelstedt said, “Even if he didn’t say it, he’s responsible for it. He’s the manager of the Yankees and he’s responsible for everything that goes on in the dugout.” There were complaints from the Yankees dugout as well, and Boone was held accountable, he explained.
Boone, who was ejected for the second time this season on Nov. 11 against the Miami Marlins, has been ejected 35 times in seven years since taking over in 2018. He is known for his frequent appeals to umpires, which may have contributed to this penalty.
“It’s embarrassing and unbelievable, but I don’t think so. I’m treated fairly by the referees and I have a good relationship with many of them. I’m a little bit more vocal and passionate than some, but I don’t think I’m penalized for that.”
The Yankees fell to Oakland, 0-2, after the manager’s bizarre ejection. Rodon pitched seven innings of one-hit ball with two walks and four strikeouts, 무료 슬롯 but the offense was silenced with three hits and no runs. Aaron Judge went 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts, dropping his season average to 1-for-7 with a .645 OPS. The Yankees, who fell to 15-8, lost first place in the American League East to the Baltimore Orioles (15-7).
Roki Sasaki of Japan Baseball’s Chiba Lotte Marines touched the 160-kilometer mark for the first time this season, but took the loss.
Sasaki threw 105 pitches over seven innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and four walks with two strikeouts and two walks in his start against the SOFTBANK Hawks at Jojo Marine Stadium in Japan on March 23.
His fastball touched 161 mph, but he turned the ball over to the bullpen in the eighth inning, trailing 2-3. Sasaki suffered his first loss of the season as Chiba Lotte fell to 2-4. She improved to 2-1 with a 2.08 ERA in four starts.
Sasaki retired table-setters Kawamura and Imamiya on consecutive swinging strikes in the first inning. Yanakita got off to a clean start with a grounder to first base and an 11-pitch count. 안전놀이터 He struck out the side in the second and gave up a single to Makihara with two outs in the third. He threw 32 pitches through three innings.
However, he gave up three hits in the fourth inning.
Imamia singled to right and Yanakita singled to left to put runners on first and second with no outs. He got Yamakawa to fly out to left field to put runners at first and third.
Kondo singled to left to score the first run. With runners on first and second, Nakamura grounded out to first baseman Ueda, who threw to second, but the throw deflected off the helmet of the runner running to second. The runner from second stole third and scored, setting up a one-out, one-out, three-run crisis.
Sasaki caught Kurihara’s squeeze bunt and quickly threw home, tagging out the runner at third to prevent further damage. A fly ball to center field with runners on first and second ended the inning.
After a scoreless fifth and sixth, Sasaki gave up a single to right to Makihara in the top of the seventh and stole second. He gave up a two-run double to left to Kawamura.
Sasaki threw a 160 mph fastball against Kai in the top of the third inning. It was his first 160 mph fastball of the season. 온라인카지노사이트 He followed that up with a 161 mph fastball in the fourth inning against Kurihara, his highest pitch of the day. In the previous three games, Sasaki’s fastball had been in the low 150s.
Of the 17 MLB home runs, 5 were grand slams… This year, it starts with exhibition games.
Royce Lewis (24), an infielder for the Minnesota Twins of the Major League Baseball (MLB), is a rookie-level player with only 70 regular league games. 바카라사이트
In his big league debut, he appeared in 12 games in 2022 and 58 games last year.
However, Lewis is more famous than most star players.
This is because of his unique history.
Lewis hit his first home run in his big league debut with a grand slam.
On May 14, 2022, in the bottom of the 5th inning of a home game against the Cleveland Guardians, he hit a grand slam to left with two outs and the bases loaded.
Lewis, who left a strong impression, began writing incredible records the following year.
In 58 games last season, he hit as many as four grand slam home runs, which is difficult for other players to hit once a year.
Including his first home run since his debut, he has hit five grand slams in 70 MLB games.
Royce Lewis had the opportunity to load the bases 13 times in his big league career, five of which were home runs, one timely hit, and one walk.
His personal career records with bases loaded are a batting average of 0.583, an on-base percentage of 0.615, and 24 RBI.
