[Neva Spotlight Episode 6] Trae Young’s meaningful growing pains

After the opening of the 2024-2025 season, who was the NBA’s most decorated player for the past week? Jumpball prepared the time to select the hottest player of the week, one each from the East/West Conference. (As of Dec. 2)

The 2024-2025 Season of Tray Young

Average 35.8 minutes played 21.4 points 12.1 assists 3.7 rebounds
Fielding rate 39.1% 3-point shooting success rate 32.7%
Fielding Low, Fielding Low, Fielding City Lowest Since Debut Season (Average 16.4)
1st overall in average assist league, career high in assist
1st in the league in potential assist attempts (20.9 times)

Atlanta Hawks: No. 7 Eastern Conference

The Atlanta Hawks rallied from two consecutive games against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the top-ranked team in the Eastern Conference. And at the center of the game was Trae Young.

Young’s style of play has significantly changed this season. Despite the ups and downs of fieldwork, he saved his teammates to play without trying too hard. As a result, he achieved career high in individual assists and No. 1 overall assist in the league at the same time. Although it is still early days of the season, he proved how powerful “Help Young” is in that he beat Nikola Jokic, the top professional in the field, in second place.

The percentage of players using their hands to calculate the percentage of offense being completed has also sharply decreased to 26.3% this season (31.3% in the last three seasons). This is similar to Jonathan Kuminga of the Golden State Warriors. Instead, thanks to Young focusing on the flow of the ball, the Atlanta Hawks boast a uniform scoring capacity, with half of the roster scoring double digits. Of course, there is still a challenge to increase Young’s individual efficiency in order for the team to go to a higher level, but considering the effect that Young’s assist has on the team, this is a significant growing pain.

2024-2025 Atlanta Hawks season:
4th place in the 토토사이트 꽁머니 Average Team Assistance League (29.8) / 2nd place in the Average Team Steel League (9.9)
2nd place in the game face league (104.4) / 5th place in the league (91.5) for average fieldwork per game

Atlanta chose Dyson Daniels as Young’s partner, who has major weaknesses in defense. Daniels, who came from the New Orleans Pelicans through a trade, immediately ranked first in the league with an average of 3.0 steals after becoming a starting member. Daniels, who combined with 13.5 points per game, displayed the qualities of the NBA’s best defender in the future, and at the same time succeeded in coexisting with Young, whose predecessor DeJonte Murray also failed.

Atlanta, which has many promising players besides Daniels, has a simple game concept. It is a repetition of “handling -> exploiting the offensive power -> trying many field battles.” With the exception of Young, this may seem like an inevitable option due to the lack of clear handlers, but Coach Quinn Snyder emphasizes the flow of ball to young players. Instead of obsessing over sophisticated fieldwork, he focused on creating quick and reliable opportunities. As a result, Atlanta has transformed itself into a team that is both threatening and selfless to its opponents. As expected, there is nothing better than clear and simple instructions for a young team.

Atlanta has had a lot of trial and error coming this far, but the result is still close to positive. With promising players growing up with a clear core of Young, Atlanta is steadily moving toward a bigger goal.

De’Aaron Parks’ 2024-2025 Season

Average 37.8 minutes played 27.7 points 5.8 assists 5.0 rebounds 1.6 steals
Field shooting rate 49.9% and 3-point shooting success rate 33.9%

Sacramento Kings: 12th place in the Western Conference

Aside from the Sacramento Kings’ poor team performance, De’Aaron Parks is having his busiest and hottest season since his debut. First of all, he engraved his name on the Sacramento team’s most points scored.

After exploding with 60 points and 7 assists against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Nov. 15, Foxx, who met Utah Jazz as a back-to-back, led his tired body to add 49 points and 9 assists, becoming the first Kings player to score as many as 109 points during a back-to-back schedule (Previous record: DeMarcus Cousins – 104 points). The only NBA player to score more than this is the late Kobe Bryant, who scored 111 points in two days.

Pax’s scoring ability this season has been remarkable. He has achieved a career high in scoring, even though his team’s offense is not dependent on him. In particular, Pax is the team’s most powerful and seventh-ranked clutch scorer in the NBA, with an average of 4.7 points per clutch time. 4.7 points is higher than Kevin Durant and Shay-Gilgers Alexander (4.4 points each). This means that the ball has always been with Pax the moment it is needed. With its isolation based on powerful breakthroughs and extensive activity, the Foxes have been struggling with their opponents all season.

2024-2025 season for the Sacramento Kings:
8th in Offensive Ratings (114.2 points) / 17th in Defensive Ratings (113.6 points)
1st in mid-range scoring ratio (11.6%) / 25th in team 3-point shooting success rate (33.2%)

What’s holding Sacramento back this season is defense and three points. Of course, in the first place, Sacramento was a thoroughly offense-oriented team that never ranked within the top 10 in three seasons under Brown (24th-14th-17th).

The problem is that Harrison Barnes, who was in charge of bad work and three points for the team until last season, was sent out in a trade. Since Pax and Domantas Sabonis do not have much advantage in defense except for grooming, Sacramento was able to fully focus on offense by trusting Barnes’ 3&D resources such as Keegan Murray and Keon Ellis.

“It’s the arrival of a hero.” Will ML introduce the “golden hitter” rule

In a critical situation, a “golden hitter” who can turn the game around will take the batter’s box. Shohei Ohtani (30) can present a victory to the Los Angeles Dodgers, which is trailing behind him.

U.S. Sports Illustrated reported on the 3rd (Korea time) that Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred recently hinted at the possibility of introducing the “golden hitter” rule.

This is a rule that allows the best hitter regardless of his batting order at a critical moment. It is already being tested in the U.S. Independent League.

The media also introduced modified enforcement regulations. Making them available only to teams that are struggling. This method seems to maximize the effect.

To take the example of the Los Angeles Dodgers, it is the last attack in the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs and a runner on the first base. It is time for the lower-ranked batters to enter. However, Ohtani will serve as a substitute.

Ohtani, the “golden hitter” who entered the batter’s box regardless of his batting order, will present a thrilling come-from-behind victory to the Los Angeles Dodgers with just one swing.

In addition, if the opposing team’s pitcher is 토토사이트 꽁머니 the top-notch finish, Ohtani vs Trout can be seen every game like the 2023 World Baseball Classic final.

However, there may be cases where his at-bat returns when the golden hitter gets on base. For this, it is essential to supplement regulations.

Giving these opportunities only to batters can undermine fairness in opportunities. However, pitchers who have already taken the mound and taken the mound are of little use.

In particular, recruiting starting pitchers for the next game could ruin the starting rotation itself. Therefore, it is quite difficult to apply to pitchers.

Attention is focusing on whether the best hitters in the major leagues, including Ohtani, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, will actually be introduced to lead the team to victory at a crucial moment.

‘Rumor to KBO’ Cody Ponce Dismisses Rakuten → Body of Freedom…Hana to the Korean stage

Cody Pons (30), who is considered to be a highly likely player to enter the KBO League, left the Rakuten Golden Eagles in the Japanese professional baseball league (NPB) and became a free body.

The Rakuten club officially announced on the 2nd, “We inform you that the decision has been made without signing a contract for the 2025 season with Pons.”

Ponce is a pitcher whose name has been steadily on the list of foreign players in KBO League clubs, and the possibility of going to Korea is rising to the surface again this winter.

Ponce, who was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers as the 55th overall pick in the second round of the 2015 MLB Rookie Draft, made his big league debut in Pittsburgh in 2020. He showed the possibility with one win, one loss and a 3.18 ERA in five games (three starts) in the first 토토사이트 꽁머니 season, but he no longer made the big league stage after slumping in 15 games (two starts) in 2021 with a 7.04 ERA. In the minor league, he played 476 innings in 134 games (75 starts), leaving 24 wins, 34 losses and a 3.93 ERA.

Pons, who turned to the Asian stage, signed a contract with the Nippon-Ham Fighters and headed to the NPB in 2022. As the starting pitcher of the Softbank Hawks game held at Sapporo Dome on August 27 that year, Pons pitched 113 pitches during nine innings, striking out two outs and striking out six (one walk). It was the first no-hitter for a Nippon-Ham pitcher in 27 years since Yukihiro Nishijaki in 1995.

Ponce, who made an impressive milestone but only played 83 ⅓ in 14 games due to injury, ended his first season in Japan with 3 wins, 5 losses and a 3.35 ERA. Ponce, who played 10 games (51 ⅔ innings) in 2023, his second year, left Nippon Ham with a 4-5 record and a 3.66 ERA.

Since then, Pons has signed Rakuten and continued his career on the NPB stage, but the results have been disastrous. Pons, who has been very sluggish with 3 wins, 6 losses and an ERA of 6.72 in 15 games this season, was humiliated by 12 runs in 3 innings against Softbank, which had a no-hitter during his time at Nippon Ham, eventually failed to renew his contract with Rakuten. Attention is focusing on whether Pons, who became a free agent, will sign a contract with the KBO League team as rumored.

“Legend, you know well about congratulations.” “Because Kim Min-jae didn’t go out of the game,” said Eppenberg. “It’s right to cover the center.”

Controversy erupted over the scene of the loss against Dortmund.

Bayern Munich drew 1-1 with Dortmund in the 12th round of the German Bundesliga in the 2024-2025 season at Zignal Iduna Park in Dortmund, Germany on the 1st (Korea time). Dortmund scored the first goal in the match, which drew attention as the first der Clasicer of the season, but Bayern turned the game to square one.

Bayern lost goals in eight matches on the day, ending its record of seven consecutive matches without allowing a goal. However, the team continued its unbeaten streak. Bayern maintained its No. 1 position in the league with nine wins, three draws and 30 points. Dortmund came in fifth with six wins, two draws and four losses and 20 points.

Kim Min-jae remained on the starting list. Kim Min-jae started all 19 matches played by Bayern this season. Including the A national team, he is forced to start 25 consecutive games. In fact, Kim Min-jae is not in good shape.

Germany’s TZ reported, “Kim Min-jae has been complaining of ankle pain since early October. He has a problem with his Achilles tendon.” Kim Min-jae also said after the match against Paris Saint-Germain, “There are some problems after the match against Frankfurt. It is a little difficult to recover.”

Kim Min-jae, who played in the match against 토토사이트 꽁머니 Dortmund again, showed good performance again. Kim led Bayern’s defense with bold forward defense that he showed when playing for Napoli on the day. After a bold interception in the second minute of the first half, he created a scoring chance and blocked Dortmund’s attack with an aggressive defense.

He overwhelmed second scorer Seru Kirashi last season. However, he was substituted in the 35th minute of the second half due to an unexpected injury. In the final defense process, he was hit by the opponent’s elbow, causing bleeding above his eye. Instead of going straight to the hospital, Kim put a Band-Aid on the torn area and watched all of his teammates finish the game.

Kim Min-jae played for 80 minutes on the day, recording an 88 percent pass success rate, 50 percent long pass success rate, 67 percent tackle success rate (2/3), three clearances, five recovery times, and 75% (3/4) of ball competition. Although the pass success rate was lower than usual, he responded relatively well to the opponent’s attack at high speed.

Kim Min-jae was highly evaluated. At all evaluation sites, he received the highest ratings among defense teams. SopaScore gave 7.0 points and Footmob gave 7.2 points. He also had the highest score among defense teams, along with Davis. Whoscore was slightly lower at 6.6, but it was the highest rating among defense teams.

However, it was not easy to get a qualitative evaluation. TZ gave an interim rating of three points. Germany gives grades between one and six, and the lower the score, the better. TZ said, “If Kim Min-jae had gone a little faster, I could have supported Rhymer in losing points.” However, he did not miss out on complimenting him, saying, “He was more committed and calm than ever in a competitive situation, except for this.”

Avent Zeitung also scored three points. Avent Zeitung said, “Kim Min-jae is a reliable player when it comes to defense. He was able to score a goal as well. Kim Min-jae was close to a goal at a time when Dortmund was in a critical situation, but he hesitated to finish the game.”

There was a reason. It was because of the scene of Dortmund’s first goal in the 26th minute of the first half. Bainogitens, who was on the left, received a rear pass and hit it as it was. After beating Reimer, he penetrated into the box and fired as it was. The goalkeeper Neuer could not use his hands. It meant that Kim Min-jae’s movement was regrettable in this situation.

Subsequently, the controversy over the scene took place at Sport 1’s Stahlberg Doppelas. Bayern legend Stefan Ebenberg defended Kim Min-jae, saying, “It was a situation where Vinogitens could cross. There were three Dortmund players behind him, so it is right to cover the center. No center back would have gone out.”

On the other hand, head coach Felix Magat, who led Bayern in the past, said, “I don’t want to refute Epenberg’s opinion, but Kim Min-jae should have pushed with the idea of overcoming the danger before focusing on other things.”

“If Kim Min-jae moved, Upamecano had to go to that position, and then someone should be behind him,” Epenberg said. “If Kim Min-jae went to Vinogitens and scored, we would have talked about why Kim Min-jae went there.”

Coach Postecoglou, who said, “No worries, a player who has proven every year,” flies to Son Heung-min who missed a big chance

Criticism is mounting against Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur), who missed a big chance. However, coach Anji Postecoglou is protecting Son and protecting him.

“Football London” gave Son four points in grading after the 13th round match of 2024-2025 English Premier League against Fulham ended in a 1-1 draw at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 1st. It was the lowest rating in the team.

Son Heung-min started as a front-line striker on the day, but failed to score an offensive point. In particular, it was painful to miss two “big chances.”

Son had a critical chance as soon as the match started. He attempted to score a goal with a right footed shot from the front of the penalty area after receiving a pass from Timo Werner, but failed due to Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno’s good defense. It was not the only game. In the 19th minute of the first half, he intercepted the ball by taking advantage of the opponent team’s defense mistake, but was also robbed by Leno due to his long cheek touch.

“He had two chances to score at the beginning of the game. However, he was blocked by Leno both times,” Football London said. “Since then, he has hardly contributed to the game. It was as if he was playing separately in the surrounding areas. I had to lead the game as a captain, but I had a very quiet day.” BBC, a British public broadcaster, also gave a low rating of 5.45 points, saying that Son had a golden chance in just 50 seconds but missed the goal.

Earlier, Son Heung-min scored the first goal with a penalty kick in the Europa League match against AS Roma on the 30th of last month, but 토토사이트 꽁머니 missed both chances that came in the 36th minute of the first half and the 40th minute of the first half, which was under criticism. At the time, “Hosper HQ” criticized Son Heung-min, saying, “He only shot three times in the box against AS Roma, but he lacked calmness at a critical moment.”

Postecoglou, who attended a press conference held right after the match against Fulham, was asked a question about Son. A reporter asked, “He has not scored many goals this season, including recent games. Is there any way he can regain his confidence?”

Then Postecoglou refuted the claim. “That can be applied not only to Son but also to other players. The important thing is concentration,” he said. “He does not pay attention to issues outside of the game, but focuses only on the game. The best scorer doesn’t really care about such issues.”

In the meantime, he showed full confidence in Son. “I am not worried that he will fail to score a goal this season. He has proved himself every year,” Postecoglou said. “A lot of players sometimes fail to score a goal. In that case, you should not lose concentration and think too deeply about what happened in the past. I am confident that he will score a goal soon.”

Barcelona’s cruel evaluation…”Son Heungmin is 32 years old. Too old for us”

There was no recruitment of Son Heung-min (Tottenham).

British media ‘Tribuna’ reported on the 2nd (Korea Standard Time) that “Barcelona has decided to exclude Son Heung-min and Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) and prioritize young talent.”

According to Miguel Rico, Barcelona’s Deku has chosen a strategy of recruiting young players for his team’s long-term success. “Son Heung-min and Salah are world-class players, but Barcelona is looking to build a team of young players who can contribute over the next several seasons,” he said.

Barcelona has been experiencing financial difficulties and reorganization of its squad in recent years, increasing its dependence on the youth system and young players. Players from the youth ranks, such as Ramin Yamal, Gavi, and Alejandro Valde, are playing important roles in the squad. Currently, it has become Barcelona’s new philosophy and recruitment base. This has resulted in the exclusion of veteran players, such as Son Heung-min and Salah, who are in their 30s.

Recently, a lot of attention has been paid to Son Heung-min’s move. There is a lot of talk about the possibility of renewing Tottenham’s contract to Saudi Arabia. In addition, the possibility of a transfer to La Liga was mentioned.

Son Heung-min, the “captain” who joined Tottenham in 2015, will end his contract after the 2024-25 season. As the next season approaches, local media are dealing with Tottenham’s situation and speculating on Son’s future moves.

Tottenham was determined to protect Son Heung-min because it sent Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), a former top European striker, to another team. Tottenham is recognizing that it is a spiritual pillar of the locker room as it is expanding its influence from key players to young players. Some warned that if Tottenham sends Son Heung-min, it will not be able to win the title, which was a long-cherished task.

Tottenham formed a consensus by negotiating re-signing with Son Heung-min. “Football Insider” announced in March that “Even Chairman Daniel Levy will personally renew his contract.” He also reported that he will continue to accompany Tottenham unless there is a big deal, saying he will sign the renewal of his contract this summer.

Recently, things have been different. Son Heung-min and Tottenham’s current contract is until June 2025. However, conditions for the club to arbitrarily extend the contract for another year are included. Sports media “The Athletic” predicted that Son will wear Tottenham’s uniform by 2026. It is expected that the club will not sign a new contract and continue to accompany Son by utilizing the existing contract clause.

According to Football Insider, Tottenham’s plan is clear. He will sign a contract with Son until 2026 using the option of extending his contract by one year. After that, he will gain an advantage when renewing his contract, and if the situation is not good, he will be sent off in 2025.

A year later, the deal could be even sold. Alan Hutton, who played for Tottenham in the past, claimed, “I think Tottenham put an option to extend their contract for one year to protect them. If someone replaces Son, then Tottenham can get a transfer fee accordingly.” The view was that Tottenham would make money from the transfer fee using Son with one year left on their contract.

Son, 토토사이트 꽁머니 who was born in 1992, is at an age when his performance will decline any time. As a result, the club could have thought that a long-term renewal of his contract with Son would result in a huge financial crisis.

However, it is a different story if the main character is Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is a legendary player of Tottenham in name and reality, and has been watching Tottenham for nearly 10 years. As a result, Tottenham fans are insisting that Tottenham should treat Son as a legend by renewing his contract for a long time.

For now, chances are high that Son will stay. “Tottenham knows how big Son Heung-min is. He is in his 30s, but he is still a great player. He is one of Tottenham’s best stars and seems to be enjoying his captaincy,” said Alessdair Gold, a reporter for Football London.

“Tottenham and Son Heung-min have the option of a one-year extension contract. This option gives a sense of stability, and if both sides want to renew their contracts, they will likely reach an agreement,” he said.

[NBA] ‘You could’ve run?’ NBA secretariat fined Atlanta $100,000 for missing Tray Young

The Atlanta Hawks, who missed Tray Young, will be fined $100,000.

The NBA secretariat announced on the 27th (Korea Standard Time) that it has fined Atlanta $100,000 (about 139.56 million won) for violating the league’s player participation policy.

The match will be a showdown between Atlanta and the Boston Celtics in Group C of the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup Eastern Conference held at TD Garden in Boston 카지노사이트, Massachusetts on the 13th. At that time, Atlanta’s ace Young was absent due to Achilles tendinitis. Nevertheless, the team won 117-116.

After the game, the NBA secretariat investigated and discovered that Young did not play even though he was healthy enough to play. Young said he was able to play enough in accordance with his doctor’s advice and the league’s medical policy.

Thus, the NBA Secretariat fined Atlanta $100,000 for violating its player-participation policy. It already fined the Philadelphia 76ers $100,000 this season for failing to properly inform Joel Embiid of his knee injury.

Since last year, the NBA Secretariat has introduced a policy to participate in league players. It has cracked down on healthy star players not to miss regular league games for no apparent reason. In the future, appropriate fines will be used to prevent star players from leaving.

Dodgers Invest 254.3 Billion → Recruitment of Blockbuster-class starting pitcher… Will it fail to go to LA in Sasaki

Blake Snell (32), one of the biggest starting pitchers in the Major League Baseball (MLB) free agent market, will head to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The race to recruit the most promising Japanese pitcher is in mystery.

The LA Times, a U.S. media outlet, said on the 27th (Korea time), “According to sources, Snell reportedly signed a five-year contract with the Dodgers for a total of $182 million (254.363 billion won).” The media reported, “The Dodgers, which spent more than $100 million on recruiting Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto last year, opened their wallets to add blockbuster players to the starting rotation again.”

Snell is one of the top left-handers in the MLB. When he was a member of the Tampa Bay Rays, he became the winner of the American League Cy Young Award with 21 wins and 5 losses and a 1.89 ERA in 2018, and also won the National League Cy Young Award with 14 wins and 9 losses and a 2.25 ERA in the 2023 season when he played for the San Diego Padres.

Snell became a free agent after the 2023 season, but failed to sign a long-term contract and signed a two-year contract ($62 million) with the San Francisco Giants. An opt-out clause was included after the 2024 season, and he came back to the market about a year later. Snell joined the team about a week later due to an injury this season. 꽁머니 could not play more than five innings in all three of the first games, and had a break for more than a month due to recurrence of injuries. However, he pitched like a pitcher who won two Cy Young Awards after his return. He went 5-3 with a 3.12 ERA in 20 games he played in the 2024 season. After securing competitiveness, he checked his value in the free agent market again and was selected as the winner of the 2024 MLB World Series.

As Snell headed to the Dodgers, Japanese pitcher Rocky Sasaki’s move to advance to MLB through posting also went into the fog. Rumors of Sasaki’s trip to the Dodgers were so rampant that there were suspicions of tempering. The fact that Japanese players Ohtani and Yamamoto are playing on the team made the connection stronger.

Sasaki’s agent denied the “contract theory.” In this situation, Snell, a “blockbuster-class” pitcher, headed to the Dodgers. The Dodgers’ starting lineup, where Ohtani returns as a pitcher in the 2025 season, is by no means weak. Walker Buehler has qualified as an FA, but he still has a lot of resources. It is questionable whether the Dodgers, which even Snell joined, will send Sasaki a love call.

Dynasties Norrie Dodgers, Big Investment…Snell recruited $182 million for five years and made a big hit with FA re-entry

Blake Snell (32), a left-hander who won the Cy Young Award twice, will head to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the winner of the World Series. Returning to the FA led to a “jackpot” contract.

U.S. ESPN reporter Jeff Bankruptcy said on the 27th (Korea Standard Time) that Snell agreed to a five-year, $182 million contract with the Dodgers. It is the first large contract worth more than 100 million dollars in the FA market with physical examinations left. Snell also posted a composite photo of himself wearing a Dodgers uniform on his SNS.

According to additional reports, the contract includes some “Dipper” who will be paid a later salary. The down payment alone is $52 million, with no opt-out clause and limited trade veto rights.

Dodgers has been suffering from injuries to starting pitchers throughout this year. There were no pitchers in the regular innings. Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Glasnow, the “one-two punch” that they acquired last winter, also failed to complete the full season due to injuries. Though they won the World Series, they had three fixed starters in the postseason and had to play four bullpen days. With Gavin Stone and Clayton Kershaw undergoing surgery, Dodgers put priority on strengthening starting pitchers this offseason and quickly caught top-rated FA Snell.

Snell is a two-time winner of the Cy Young Award(에볼루션카지노). Since his debut with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2016, he has played for the San Diego Padres and the San Francisco Giants, recording 76 wins and 58 losses with a 3.19 strikeout and 1,368 ERA in nine seasons in the Major League.

In 2018, he played in 31 games (180 ⅔ innings) with Tampa Bay, recording 21 wins and 5 losses with 1.79 strikeouts and 221 ERA. In 2023, he won the National League Cy Young Award as a member of the San Diego Padres with 14 wins and 9 losses with 2.25 strikeouts and 234 ERA. He is the seventh player to win the Cy Young Award in the two major leagues after Gailod Perry, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, Roger Clemens, Roy Halladay and Max Scherzer. Except for Clemens and Scherzer, who are suspected of drugs, they are all pitchers who have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Snell faced a cold wind unexpectedly last winter when he was curiously introduced to the FA market after receiving the Cy Young Award. As shown in the two Cy Young Awards, the season when he was a high-pitched player but not due to poor ball control was normal. Due to his large and small injuries, he only had two seasons of regulation innings. Since he is a pitcher with low stability and high risk, the clubs did not offer Snell a high-priced long-term contract.

In the end, he signed a two-year, $62 million FA contract with San Francisco on March 20, just before the opening of the season. It was actually an FA re-entry on the condition that the opt-out was included after the season. He promised a year later with “Super Agent” Scott Boras, but the strategy worked.

Snell recorded five wins and three losses with an earned run average of 3.12 strikeouts and 145 strikeouts in 20 games (104 innings). His preparation for the season was not sufficient, probably due to the aftermath of skipping spring training due to delayed contracting. He left the club twice due to adductor muscle and groin injuries in April and June, respectively, and had three losses and an earned run average of 6.31 strikeouts without winning eight games (35 ⅔ innings) in the first half.

However, he regained his physical condition in the second half and made a dramatic comeback. He pitched well against the Cincinnati Reds on Aug. 3 with five wins, no losses, and an earned run average of 1.45 strikeouts in 12 games (68 ⅓ innings). He spent an intense second half of the season with his changeup coming back to life on his average 95.9 mph (154.3 kph) four-seam fastball, and he entered the FA market as an opt-out after a season. He was classified as a special starting FA along with Corbin Burns and Max Fried, and was the first to decide his destination.

The five-year, 182 million dollars amounts to 36.4 million dollars annually. This is higher than Gerrit Cole, who signed a nine-year, $324 million contract with the New York Yankees in December 2019 for an annual average of 36 million dollars. Although the contract period is shorter than Cole’s, he received the highest annual treatment for pitchers based on contracts for more than five years. It is also the Dodgers’ commitment to win the World Series for the second consecutive year.

The Dodgers, which invested heavily in Shohei Ohtani (US$700 million for 10 years), Shouhei Yamamoto (US$325 million for 12 years) and Glasnow (US$136.5 million for 5 years) last winter, spent a lot of money again this winter by recruiting Snell. The Dodgers, whose starting lineup has been greatly upgraded, with Ohtani, Yamamoto, Glasnow and Snell returning to the mound. If Tony Gonsolin, Dustin May and Kershaw, who are injured in Snell, return, they will also be able to become the best starting team in the league in terms of quantity. If we catch Rocky Sasaki, a Japanese pitcher who is challenging the Major League through posting, it will truly be a mound that can usher in the era of the Dodgers Dynasty.

Yamal born in 2007? ‘Real talent’ born in 2009 is coming!… ‘Best middle school student ever’ is expected to appear, and the youngest EPL participation record is Jung Jo-joon → Already participated in training for the first team

A player who is only a middle school student is preparing to enter the English Premier League (EPL).

The U.K.’s Football Transfer reported on Monday (Korea time) that Arsenal’s 14-year-old prodigy Max Dowman is drawing huge attention. He is also expected to play in the first team soon.

Young players born in 2006 and 2007 are making great headlines in the soccer community. Ramin Yamal, Barcelona’s top prospect, is at the center of the sensation. Yamal, who already made his name known in the European leagues by winning the Euro, has shown great interest in young players. In addition, a growing number of young players are already playing in the first division including Pau Kubarsi, Endrick, Arda Güller, Mikey Moore, Yang Min-hyuk, Warren Zaire Emery and Yorel Harte.

However, he surprised fans by showing his best talent born in 2009, who is two years younger than them. Although he is only 14 years old and a 카지노사이트 middle school student, he has already trained at Arsenal, an EPL big club, raising expectations for his debut as the youngest player.

Football Transfer said: ‘Dowman is already drawing a lot of attention within Arsenal and looks set to play in the first team together soon. Club officials have compared him to legendary player Khaka, describing him as a madman. He has already become the youngest player to play for the Under-18s and will gradually adapt to the first team as well. He has also played alongside Ethan Nwaneri and Miles Louis Kelly for a friendly match without spectators.’

“Dowman can play as a central midfielder, an attacking midfielder, and a winger, and he uses both feet skillfully. He has already signed a sponsorship contract for the 2022-2023 season. He is on track to challenge Nwaneri’s record of becoming the youngest EPL debutant set at the age of 15 years and 181 days. It is not highly likely to debut this season, but we are closely monitoring it, and it seems clear that the club has discovered jewelry.”

Dowman, who was born in 2009, joined Arsenal in 2015 at the age of six and is considered one of the best talents at the Hale End (Arnal Academy). Along with his beautiful appearance, he is already playing the main role of the U-18 team with a tremendous moonrise, and he has joined the first-team training, raising expectations. He has already shown exceptional talent in various areas such as dribbling, vision, passing, depression, and judgment, and if he is growing now, he is likely to receive an opportunity in the first-team stage soon.

Along with the great interest in young players, real talent has appeared in Arsenal. Many fans are also expected to see the growth of Dowman.
