What a foreigner…Peña-Sánchez, the most powerful ‘one-two puncher’ of all time, whose disastrous failure led to his success

Sometimes the “next best thing” is the “best thing.

In June of last year, the Hanwha Eagles signed a right-hander from the Dominican Republic for $500,000. They waited more than a 메이저놀이터 month for Nick Kingham, who was expected to be their ace, to return from injury. In three appearances, Kingham was pulled after 16⅓ innings. Hanwha, which lost its two foreign pitchers, Kingham and Ryan Carpenter, to injuries at the same time in April, was caught off guard.

Felix Peña stepped in as Kingham’s replacement, and while he didn’t make an impact, he was re-signed last winter.

He got off to a terrible start this year as well. Right-hander Butch Smith, who was signed despite a history of injuries, started the opener and was pulled. He was removed after throwing 60 pitches in 2⅔ innings. The No. 1 starter, who was signed for $1 million a year, left with another deep wound.

Incisor pain for over a month. In May, the team signed a left-hander from Venezuela. $400,000 a year. Smith’s replacement is Ricardo Sanchez.

It was a tough choice for a replacement, but it turned out to be the best one. Peña and Sanchez are the two pillars of Hanwha’s recent rise. They are the most powerful ‘one-two punch’ at the moment.

On the 27th, against the KT Wiz. Peña did not leave the mound despite injuring his right thumb during the game. He pitched seven innings of one-run ball (unearned), en route to his fifth straight win.

He has gotten back on track after a slow start to the season. In his 10 starts since May, Peña has finished nine of them with a quality start (6+ innings pitched, 3 earned runs or less). He’s gone seven innings in three of them. He hasn’t been as fortunate, winning just three games, but he has a 2.15 ERA in that span.

On May 11, he pitched four scoreless innings in his first start against the Samsung Lions. It wasn’t a lucky outcome.

In eight starts, Sanchez is 4-0 with no losses and a 1.48 ERA. He threw an eight-inning no-hitter against the LG Twins on Tuesday. He puts hitters at ease with his steady delivery every game. Sanchez’s performance erased Smith’s nightmare.

Call it fortune in disguise. A big failure led to success.

Another replacement foreign player joined the 메이저사이트 주소 team. Nick Williams, a left-handed hitting outfielder, made his first appearance on July 27 against KT. He replaced Brian O’Grady, who left after a disastrous season. He was not Hanwha’s first priority to sign.

Can Williams make Hanwha fans happy? In his debut against KT on the 27th, he hit a double and a triple.
