SSG Landers has completed its foreign roster for the 2024 season. After signing a new foreign pitcher, the team has decided to keep Roenis Elias and Guillermo Heredia, who played this season, for another year.

“We have re-signed foreign hitter Guillermo Heredia for a total of $1.5 million ($150,000 signing bonus, $1.15 million annual salary, $200,000 option) and foreign pitcher Elias for a total of $1 million ($100,000 signing bonus, $650,000 annual salary, $250,000 option),” SSG announced on Sunday.

“Elias was signed as an alternate foreign player on May 4 and pitched in 22 games, going 8-6 with a 3.70 ERA and 93 strikeouts in 131⅓ innings, helping the team reach the postseason. In particular, Elias was the team’s main starter in the second half of the season, consistently averaging more than six innings per game, showing excellent stamina and game management skills.”

Born in 1988, his age was a concern, but with a season of experience in the KBO and a proven pitcher, he was given a spot in SSG’s starting lineup for next year. With this, SSG has decided on the first through third starting pitchers.

Last month, SSG signed a new foreign pitcher, Robert Dugger, 28, from the Texas Rangers, for a total of $900,000 ($100,000 signing bonus, $650,000 salary, $150,000 option).

Duggar and was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in 2016

Duggar is a native of Arizona, USA, and was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 18th round in 2016 after graduating from Texas Tech University. After gaining experience as a consistent starter in the minor leagues the following year, Duggar compiled a career minor league (Triple-A) record of 15-22 with a 5.25 ERA in 75 games and 339 1/3 innings pitched. In 2023, 안전놀이터 he led the Triple-A Pacific League with a 4.31 ERA and 143 strikeouts, ranking first in the league in each category.

In 2019, he made his major league debut, appearing in 27 games (13 starts) and striking out 67 batters in 86⅔ innings. “Duggar throws a powerful fastball that tops out at 150 mph and has a complete arsenal of pitches, including a changeup and curveball,” SSG said.

In the 2024 season, SSG’s starting rotation will consist of “ace” Kim Kwang-hyun and two foreign players, Dugger and Elias, who will be responsible for the 1-3 spots. But who will fill the remaining two spots?

Left-hander Oh Won-seok has been a consistent starter and has shown growth over the years. He has had his ups and downs this season, but he has won eight games (10 losses), the most in his professional career, and thrown 144⅔ innings. He also gained international experience by participating in the Asian Professional Baseball Championship (APBC) at the Tokyo Dome in Japan.

He pitched against Japan and gained valuable experience against new players.

He could take one of the two remaining starting spots, if not both. In a recent phone call with OSEN, submarine pitcher Jong-hoon Park had a few words. “I have to do well,” he said. The words conveyed his determination.

After making his debut in 2011, Jong-hoon won 12 games in 2017 and 14 in 2018. After winning 13 games in 2020, 바카라사이트 순위 he won just four in the 2021 season. That year, he went under the knife with an elbow injury and didn’t finish the season. Nevertheless, the club believed in Jong-hoon and signed him to the first non-free agent multi-year contract in the KBO.

Along with Jong-hoon, veteran right-hander Moon Seung-won also signed a non-free agent multi-year contract. Jong-hoon signed a five-year deal totaling 6.5 billion won and Moon Seung-won signed a five-year deal totaling 5.5 billion won.

Both players returned in the summer of 2022.

Since his return, Jong-hoon has gone 3-5 with a 6.00 ERA. His return was more about being healthy than his performance. Jong-hoon sweated harder than anyone else in camp in Florida after the 2022 season ended. He looked good and prepared for the 2023 season in a positive way.

However, his performance in 2023 was only 2-6 with a 6.19 ERA. He spent more time in the second team than in the first. But he’s not a player to give up on. He has a badass personality. He has a lot of energy.

There’s nothing wrong with his body. 안전놀이터 추천 If he can find his confidence and get back to his best pitches, he can win 10 games. It remains to be seen how the competition for SSG’s starting spot will unfold in the offseason and camp. Moon Seung-won, right-hander Lee Eun-wook, and second-year pitcher Song Young-jin are all options.
