“Please do well for me instead of me who can’t go to Korea” Replaced. Wilmer Font, who has been active for two seasons from the 2021 season, set out to re-challenge the American stage. Sean Morrimando and Juan Lagares, who wore SSG jerseys midway through last season, also left the team. SSG acquired Eni Romero, Kirk McCarty and Guillermo Heredia as new foreign players.

McCarty and Heredia’s first Asian stage. However, Romero is a pitcher with experience in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB)토토사이트. Romero joined the Chunichi Dragons in the 2019 season. In the 2020 season, he was injured before the season and was out for the season. In the 2021 season, he wore a Chiba Lotte Marines uniform and played an active role until last season. He went 17-19 with a 3.60 earned run average in 255 innings in 45 NPB career games.

On the 10th (local time), at the Jackie Robinson Training Complex in Vero Beach, Florida, where SSG’s spring camp is being held, Romero, who met with reporters after the second bullpen pitching of the camp, said, “It was much better than the first bullpen pitch. I am adapting to the team. Also, the ball is on a different side from the major leagues and NPB. I am adapting.”

Romero, who experienced both the American and Japanese stages, revealed that he learned a lot from the various league experiences. He said, “Each league has its strengths. When I went to Japan after learning baseball in the United States, there were longevity that could only be learned in Japan. It must have been the biggest experience in my baseball life.” The big difference was that I moved a lot quickly and got distracted. Through that situation, I learned a lot about how to play the game.”

He also talked about the differences between spring camps in Japan and Korea. Romero said, “In Japan, there were no days off when we started spring camp. It was difficult to arrange physical strength because we trained all day long.” It’s good because I think it will be a situation where I can play in full condition, not when I’m tired.”

After Romero signed with SSG, Ivan Nova, who played for SSG last season, contacted him with a message of encouragement. Nova signed with SSG ahead of last season. However, Nova started 12 games and was sluggish with 3 wins, 4 losses, 63⅔ innings, 50 runs (46 ERA), and an ERA of 6.50. Then came the injury. As the injury prolonged, SSG chose Morimando as a substitute foreign pitcher.

Romero said, “Before the contract, I didn’t get advice from anyone about the KBO league. After the contract, Nova contacted me. I usually get along very well with Nova. I’m a brother and sister. He explained in detail,” he said. “Nova liked Korea so much. I wanted to come back, but I couldn’t come back, so he said, ‘Please be nice to me.'”

After Romero joined, there were also voices of concern. This is because Romero has not played the entire 2020 season due to a shoulder injury and is prone to frequent injuries. However, Romero said, “I am 100% ready. I believe in it. But since I am a human, not a robot, I do not know when and where I will get injured.” lost.
