DJ Peters, Played as an Outfielder for Lotte Giants

DJ Peters, Who Played as an Outfielder for Lotte Giants, Signed a Minor Contract with Texas as a Pitcher

DJ Peters (28), who played as an outfielder for the Lotte Giants of the Korean Professional Baseball League,

signed a minor league contract as a pitcher with the Texas Rangers.

The Dallas Morning News, a local newspaper in Dallas, Texas, reported on the 5th (Korean time),

“Peters is returning to Texas as a pitcher, not an outfielder.” 메이저사이트 안전놀이터

Peters, who began his professional career by being selected 131st overall in the fourth round of the 2016 rookie draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers,

debuted in the big league as an outfielder for the Dodgers in 2021.

That year, he transferred to Texas and continued his big league career.

However, his time in the major leagues was short-lived.

Peters, who appeared in 70 games in 2021 and posted a batting average of 0.197 (44 hits in 223 at-bats),

13 home runs, and 38 RBIs, turned his attention to the KBO League in 2022 and signed with Lotte.

Lotte hoped that Peters’ ‘power’ would work in the KBO League.

However, DJ Peters performed poorly with a batting average of 0.228,

13 home runs, and 48 RBI, and Lotte released Peters during the season.

Peters, who signed a minor league contract with the Washington Nationals in September 2022 and played as a hitter,

transitioned to a pitcher after joining the Detroit Tigers in 2023.

Last year, DJ Peters played in the minor league rookie league as a pitcher and pitched in relief in 17 games,

struggling with 1 win and an ERA of 6.23 (17 hits, 19 runs, 15 earned runs in 21⅔ innings).

He struck out 24 batters, but gave up more walks (27).

Texas decided to give Peters, who throws a fastball up to 95 miles per hour (approximately 153 km), an opportunity to play in the minor league.

Major League Trade Rumors said, “Peters’ transformation into a pitcher is progressing.

He must grow technically and become familiar with game management,”

“He will learn how to use a fastball of 153 km per hour and a slider with a large angle in the minor league under Texas. “It was said.

Dodgers Yamamoto, 3K Scoreless Runs in 2 Innings in First Exhibition Game… A Brilliant Debut

Perfect pitch against the 2023 WS winning team, Texas.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto

Yamamoto started in the visiting game against the Texas Rangers in the 2024 MLB exhibition game

held at Surprise Stadium in Arizona, USA on the 29th (Korean time) and pitched 2 innings, allowing 1 hit, 3 strikeouts, and no runs.

He showed off his best control by throwing a total of 19 balls and catching 16 of them as strikes.

Yamamoto easily caught the sluggers of last season’s World Series champion Texas.

He struck out infielder Marcus Siemien, who was selected as a 2023 American League All-Star, on a swing in the first inning.

Simeon was helplessly hit by a fastball high in the body at 154 km/h.

Yamamoto gave up a heavy hit to the follow-up batter, Evan Carter,

but caught Wyatt Langford in a double play that led to third base, second base, and first base.

The second inning was blocked by a three-way strike.

He ended the game by striking out Nathaniel Law, who won the 2022 American League Silver Slugger Award,

with a swing-and-miss strikeout, Jonah Haim with a fly ball to left field, and Leody Taveras with a swing-and-miss strikeout.

According to MLB.com, Yamamoto threw 11 fastballs, all of which reached 151 to 154 kilometers per hour.

All three curves were within the strike zone.

The splitter and cut fastball were also sharp.

In December of last year, Yamamoto signed a 12-year, $325 million (approximately 434.2 billion won) contract with the Dodgers,

surpassing Gerrit Cole’s existing contract with the New York Yankees for the highest guaranteed contract for a pitcher (9 years, $324 million). It was a breakthrough.
