Kim Kwang-hyun, a 41-year-old helper also joined the All-Star left-handed selection for the U.S. WBC national team

St. Louis Cardinals Adam Wainwright (41) has joined the U.S. national team for the World Baseball Classic (WBC).

Major League Baseball official media MLB.com said on the 30th (Korea Standard Time), “The U.S. national team is waiting for the WBC to be held in March next year, but there are still questions about who will keep the starting rotation. Two seats were filled today. Yankees left-hander Nester Cortes and St. Louis veteran starter Wainwright have been selected for the national team, he said.

Wainwright is a veteran ace with 195 wins, 117 losses, and a 3.38 ERA in 457 games (2567 innings) in 17 seasons in the Major League. He spent the 40-year-old season this year, but showed off his skills with 11 wins and 12 losses and a 3.71 ERA in 32 games (191⅔ innings). In Korea, Kim Kwang-hyun is well known as a player who took good care of Kim Kwang-hyun as a senior player in the team when he played for St. Louis.

MLB.com said, “Wainwright spent his last season in the major leagues this year. This is his first time playing for the WBC national team. There are only five wins left until 200 wins. If the U.S. and Puerto Rico meet in the final, it could be an uncomfortable game for Wainwright. “This is because catcher Yadier Molina, who has been working with batteries for a long time, was the coach of the Puerto Rico national team this time,” he explained.

Cortes is a young pitcher with 19 wins, 9 losses and a 3.60 ERA in 92 games (330 innings). Although he did not play much until last year, he was selected as an All-Star with 12 wins, 4 losses and a 2.44 ERA in 28 games (158⅓inning) 토토사이트
