Can I return within this year, until my debut in Single A?
The Pittsburgh Pirates lost two players to buy Miami outfielder Brian DeLacruz. It lost Shim Joon-seok and Garrett Forrest, a natural resource for the first base. Pittsburgh, which was worthy of a run toward the postseason until then, needed a player that could be used immediately in the outfield. On the contrary, Miami, which has already given up the postseason and is drawing two to three years later, wanted a promising player. Shim Jun-seok moved to Miami in this trade. Shim was the key trade.
In fact, it was not a trade that was easily expected. Pittsburgh also cherished Shim Jun-seok. Pittsburgh became the ultimate winner in the scramble for Shim Jun-seok, who wanted to advance to the Major League in 2022. Pittsburgh prepared a lengthy blueprint for not only club facilities but also how the club would nurture Shim, and this sincere persuasion moved Shim. Many other clubs made suggestions to Shim, but this was the reason why he chose the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Pittsburgh has provided various assistance, including form correction, to adjust Shim's pitching balance. Realistically, however, it was more urgent to reinforce the outfield, and the team had no choice but to surrender the card that Miami wanted. Miami reportedly strongly wanted Shim. According to a source familiar with the situation, Miami has been showing interest in Shim Joon-seok. This means that the deal was not made all of a sudden. While the first proposal is known to have already been made last year, the outcome of the two-year courtship has been made.
Local media outlet "Miami Herald" reported on the 10th that Shim Jun-seok was at the heart of the trade, and Miami was satisfied with Shim Jun-seok's acquisition. The Miami Herald said, "Miami was attracted to Shim Jun-seok, the 20-year-old. According to sources, Shim Jun-seok was by far the best Korean player Pittsburgh has scouted. In particular, he was fascinated by Shim Jun-seok's fastball rotation, which gives a batter an up-and-coming feeling."토토사이트 순위
The Dong-A Ilbo reported that Shim Joon-seok has three types of high-quality pitching arsenals. Not only Pittsburgh but also Miami were fascinated by the speed of rotation (meaning curves) of around 3,000 times per minute. In addition, a fastball can range from 94 to 96 miles (151.3 to 154.5 kilometers) and a maximum of 100 miles (160.1 kilometers). Big curves and hard sliders for dropouts are also good," he said.
Due to his shoulder injury, Shim has no real game experience this year. According to the Miami Herald, however, the Miami Marlins do not consider the injury serious and decided it would not hamper Shim's career, so they made the trade. The media said, "Miami hopes that he will be able to recover his health during the offseason and pitch in the team farm system in 2025. It is expected that the full-fledged starting next year.
In fact, Shim's shoulder condition has reportedly recovered a lot. Shim has already entered the pitching stage. She also performed live pitching. With the rookie league over, there is no proper stage to start the game, and some predict that Shim will finish the season by pitching in Single A, whose schedule has not been completed yet.
If Miami refuses to overdo Shim, his debut in Single-A will likely be postponed to next year, but there is a difference between not taking the mound at least once and finishing the season. As Shim has regained his physical fitness, it is also important to find strengths and weaknesses in actual games. Shim Jun-seok, who escaped from the injury tunnel, is drawing attention for the rest of the season.
