Forgotten veteran left-handed pitcher James Paxton (35, Boston Red Sox) is ready to step on the mound in the major leagues after 766 days먹튀검증.
Paxton will start as a starting pitcher in the 2023 Major League Baseball game against the St. Louis Cardinals at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts on the 13th (Korean time).
Paxton made his big league debut as a member of the Seattle Mariners in 2013, and has recorded 57 wins, 33 losses, and an average ERA of 3.59 in 754⅔innings in 137 games. From his first year in the big leagues, he showed potential as a starting pitcher, and in the 2017-2019 season, he showed off his presence by pitching more than 130 innings and double-digit wins for three consecutive years.
But his last three years have been stagnant. In 2020, when he was a New York Yankee, he was sluggish with an average ERA of 6.64 in 5 games, 1 win, 1 loss, 20⅓ innings, and returned to Seattle the following year and played one game, then left for a long time due to Tommy John surgery (elbow ligament reconstruction surgery). It has been 765 days since he left the mound.
Paxton, who did that, will start on the 13th. He went through a long rehabilitation process and returned after 766 days.
In an interview with MLB.com, the official major league website, Paxton said, “It was really difficult (to return).” I desperately wanted it, so I just kept taking one step at a time.”
During the tough times, Paxton was helped a lot by his colleague Chris Sale, 34. Like Paxton, Sale also underwent Tommy John surgery once in 2020. “I watched the sale. It was really cool to see him put everything together and pitch like he used to. We talked a little bit about the process and some advice on what it means to be back in the big leagues. heard,” he said.
Finally, Paxton revealed his determination to stand on the mound. He said, “Someone said to me, ‘I’m going to debut again.’
As of the 12th, Boston is in third place in the American League East Division with a season record of 22 wins and 16 losses. It is being chased by the 4th place Toronto Blue Jays (21-16) and is following the 2nd place Baltimore Orioles (24-13) by a ‘2.5’ game difference. Can the return of veteran Paxton add wings to the Boston mound?
