Justin Verlander (43) has a chance that could be his last chance. Now it's time for Max Scherzer (42). Will there be a chance that could be his last chance.메이저사이트
The U.S. MLB Network said on the 8th (Korea time) that the San Francisco Giants and Verlander agreed to a one-year, $15 million contract.
Verlander, who was on the verge of retirement last year due to injury and sluggishness, got an opportunity with a one-year contract or an annual salary of 21.9 billion won.
Now the eyes are on Scherzer. This is because Scherzer is a little better than Verlander. He is a year younger and showed better performance than Verlander last year.
Scherzer, in his 17th year in the major leagues, pitched 431/3 innings in just nine games last season, going 2-4 with a 3.95 strikeout.
Since his debut in the Major League in 2008, Lee has played his lowest game in a season. He underwent back surgery late last year and suffered a hamstring injury in September.
It is hard to expect innings and performance as in the past. However, some say that it is not too difficult to occupy a spot in the starting rotation.
If Scherzer wins a new contract following Verlander, it will be a chance to reach 3,000 innings. This may actually be the last chance. He is a 42-year-old veteran pitcher.
Scherzer pitched 2,878 innings in 466 games (457 starts) with 216 wins and 112 losses with a 3.16 strikeout and 3407 ERA. On top of that, he won three Cy Young Awards.
Even if he retires right now, he will definitely be admitted to the Hall of Fame. He will achieve 3,000 innings left. If he adds 93 strikeouts, he will have 3,500, which will make the record even better.
Attention is focusing on whether Scherzer, who is in the twilight of his career, will be able to retire after reaching 3,000 innings and 3,500 strikeouts in the 2025 season.
