Lee Jung-hoo and Yamamoto, who will make their major league debut side by side next season, are already expected to create a new wind. Lee Jung-hoo, who dominated the KBO league with his brilliant bat technique, is emerging as a leading candidate for San Francisco’s No. 1 hitter with a six-year, $113 million jackpot with the San Francisco Giants, while Yamamoto, who conquered the Japanese stage, is expected to be the Dodgers’ new ace as he signed a 12-year, $325 million mammoth contract with the Dodgers.
If they perform well worth the price, it is expected that they will still be able to win the Rookie of the Year award, which is only given once in their lifetime. However, according to the 2024 season winner prediction released by the official major league website on the 29th (Korea time), it is drawing attention that other players other than Lee Jung-hoo and Yamamoto are likely to win the National League Rookie of the Year. “MLBcom” pointed to right-hander Paul Skins, who was nominated by the Pittsburgh Pirates as the first overall pick in the Major League Rookie of the Year draft held in July. 실시간 바카라사이트
“Many would cite Yamamoto of the Dodgers as a candidate for Rookie of the Year, and with good reason,” MLBcom said. “However, it would be misleading for us to call players from foreign leagues “newcomers”,” stressing that there is no reason to classify Yamamoto as a rookie, who has already played in the Japanese pro league for seven seasons.
“MLB.com ” predicted the possibility of winning the award, saying, “Skins is the best pitching prospect since Stephen Strasburg,” adding, “Strasburg was not included in the 2010 National League Rookie of the Year vote, but I think he will be able to debut early and play meaningful innings and seriously compete for the Rookie of the Year.”
When he was a Louisiana State University pitcher who threw a fastball with a maximum speed of 102 miles (164 kilometers) and signed a down payment of 9.2 million dollars with the Pittsburgh Pirates, breaking the record for a rookie in the Major League history. Will Lee Jung-hoo really form a competition with Skins for the Rookie of the Year, who received the highest down payment in the history of rookies? Maria Guardado, San Francisco’s San Francisco reporter for “MLB.com ,” is drawing attention by making a bold prediction that the team will produce the top rookie of the year in the National League next year.
“San Francisco has failed to produce the National League Rookie of the Year award since Buster Posey in 2010, but it could have a chance to end its drought soon.” “San Francisco called up 12 promising players this year to the Major League, and many of them will remain rookies next year. If they continue to develop as expected, they will be able to have several Rookie of the Year nominees including Lee Jung-hoo,” the MLBcom predicted.
Meanwhile, MLBcom picked outfielder Wyatt Langford of the Texas Rangers as a candidate for next year’s American League Rookie of the Year, Juan Soto of the New York Yankees as an American League MPV candidate, Bryce Harper of the Philadelphia Phillies as an American League MVP, Pablo Lopez of the Minnesota Twins as an American League Cy Young Award candidate, Walker Buehler of the Dodgers as a National League Cy Young Award candidate, A.J. Hinch of the Detroit Tigers as an American League manager, and David Bell of the Cincinnati Reds as a National League manager.
