Using the 'Man of Tenacity', the road to return to MLB has been opened.

 The path to Yoshitomo Tsutsugo's return to the big league has been opened.


John Heyman of the New York Post announced on the 9th (Korean time) that the San Francisco Giants signed a contract with Tsutsugo.

It is unknown whether he signed a major league contract or a minor league contract, but MLBTR reported that the minor league contract likely included an invitation to spring training.

Tsutsugo received ‘love calls’ from Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) clubs this year, but he rejected them and aimed to return to the big league.

He signed a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers, but when he was not promoted, he played for Statin Island in the independent American league.

He subsequently signed a minor league contract with the San Francisco Giants and played in Double-A and Triple-A.

Tsutsugo appeared in 68 minor league games, recording a batting average of .260, 10 home runs, and an OPS of .858, but was never called up to the big league.

However, Tsutsugo decided not to return to Japan and try to enter the big league again.

Prior to this, at the GM meeting held in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, San Francisco President Zaidi said that a contract with Tsutsugo to be invited to spring camp is in the process.

“Will there be a better pitcher than Peddie?”

 The 2nd round of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO Post Season Playoff (PO) between NC and KT was held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do on the 31st. These are the words left by KT coach Lee Kang-cheol before the game. KT lost 5 to 9 to NC in the first game of PO the previous day (30th). The batting line was tightly tied by NC starter Eric Peddy's good pitching, and the mound was helpless, giving up 13 hits. In particular, Peddie's performance stood out. Peddie pitched well in 6 innings, allowing 3 hits, 12 strikeouts, and 1 run, and struck out 12, breaking the record for the most strikeouts in a single PO game. It was a skill that even his enemy, Coach Lee, had no choice but to acknowledge. Coach Lee said of Peddy ahead of Game 2, "The angle of his slider was at the edge of the strike zone, and his two-seam fastball was pushed in, making it difficult for batters to hit. He is a good pitcher. He was better than in the regular season, and I have to admit that." I stuck

This time the Ukrainian Government has promoted a law that does provide that legal certainty, although there are still fiscal aspects that must be reconsidered so that the gaming industry, and with it, the tourism, can grow
