Michael Soroka (27), who has been out of injury that has plagued him for four years since 2019, won a whopping 13 billion won contract despite the stigma of a "0-10 pitcher."

The official Major League website MLB.com said on the 20th (Korea time) that the Washington Nationals agreed to a one-year-$9 million contract with right-handed pitcher Soroka.토토사이트

However, this is not an official announcement. Soroka must pass the Washington Medical Examination. As Soroka has suffered from numerous injuries, the medical examination is expected to be carried out thoroughly.
Soroka, who is in his fifth year in the Major League, appeared with Hyeseong in 2019, and continued to suffer from injury from 2020 to last year. He played in only 10 games in four years.

This season, however, he played 79 2/3 innings in 25 games (nine starts) without any injuries. His ERA in general was not good at 4.74, but he succeeded after switching to relief pitcher.

Soroka had only 6.39 ERA in nine games as a starting pitcher. On the other hand, he had a 2.75 ERA and 15 strikeouts per nine innings as a relief pitcher.

Washington seems to be paying attention to this. As a result, Washington signed a contract of 1-9 million dollars to buy the so-called Soroka Lottery. Most importantly, he played well throughout the season without getting injured.
Soroka was once considered the future Atlanta Braves ace. In 2019, he pitched 174 2/3 innings in 29 games, going 13-4 with a 2.68 ERA and 142 strikeouts.

However, Soroka later injured his groin, Achilles tendon, and shoulder. The Achilles tendon injury, in particular, even recurred and pushed Soroka to a corner.

As a result, expectations for Soroka disappeared. Ultimately, Atlanta traded Soroka to the Chicago White Sox late last year.
Expectations for Soroka were not high even after that. However, Soroka finally completely beat the injury for the first time in five years and pitched well in relief.

It is not yet known what position Washington will assign to Soroka. This is because he has not been good as a starting pitcher this season as well. He is likely to be a relief pitcher.
