Kim Ha-seong hit a home run, but the proud reverse export myth Kelly won 10 wins for 2 consecutive years

"KBO reverse export myth" Merrill Kelly Arizona Diamondbacks hit a solo home run by Kim Ha-sung San Diego Padres, but reached the 10th win mark for the second consecutive year in the big league.

Kelly started the first game of the away doubleheader against San Diego in the U.S. Major League Baseball MLB at Petco Park in San Diego, California on the 20th and recorded five hits, four walks, and three runs in 5 1/3 innings. Kelly went down the mound in the sixth inning with a 6-3 lead, and the team won 6-4, achieving 10 wins for the second consecutive year.

Kelly's record this season is 10-5 with a 3.13 ERA in 22 starts.

Kelly is the main character of the KBO League's proud reverse export myth. At the end of 2014, he first stepped on Korean soil with a total of $350,000 in contracts with the SK Wyverns currently SSG Landers. The reason why the ransom was relatively low even at that time was that he had never stepped on the big leagues. Prior to his contract with SK, Kelly played in 125 minor league games 76 starts and recorded only 39 wins, 26 losses, and a 3.40 ERA.

Kelly had 48 wins, 32 losses, and a 3.86 ERA in 119 games for SK from 2015 to 2018. He made his big league debut based on his performance in the KBO League. After winning the Korean Series in 2018, he signed a 2+2-year contract with the Arizona club for up to $14.5 million W19.4 billion and returned to the U.S. stage. Kelly, who recorded 13 wins, 14 losses, and a 4.42 ERA in 2019, recorded a career-high season with 13 wins, 8 losses and a 3.37 ERA last year. He also pitched 200 innings in his first season. Early last year, he signed a two-year, $18 million about 24.1 billion won extension contract with the Arizona club.

He is also on a roll this season. He was selected for the U.S. national team of the 2023 World Baseball Classic WBC and took the mound as a starting pitcher for the final match against Japan. He plays Arizona's ace in the regular season.

In the game against San Diego on the 20th, Kelly was unexpectedly hit from the start. In the bottom of the first inning, leading 2-0, leadoff hitter Kim Ha-sung hit a four-seam fastball toward his body and hit a leadoff batter's home run. After two outs, Manny Machado allowed a tie-breaking solo shot. After two outs in the second inning, he was on the verge of losing a point with consecutive walks, but he handled Kim Ha-sung's infield grounder and ended the inning. Kelly, who overcame the crisis with a double play in the third inning, allowed Matt Carpenter a timely hit in the fourth inning with two outs and runners on second base. However, he did not lose a point after receiving two points in the attack in the top of the fifth inning.

Kelly struggled somewhat by sending out a runner in every inning until the fifth inning. The total number of pitches was 102. The strike rate dropped slightly to 58.9 percent. Three strikeouts. He gave up two home runs, but he set the stage for the team's victory with his excellent crisis management skills.

Kelly has been performing more than a ransom throughout his career in the big leagues. This season, he is ranked third in ERA and tied for seventh in multiple National League wins. His career record is 46 wins, 40 losses, and a 3.81 ERA. 토토사이트 순위
