The Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell has many relationships with Korean Major Leaguers. He played with Choi Ji-man during the Tampa Bay Rays, Kim Ha-sung at the San Diego Padres, and Lee Jung-hoo at the San Francisco Giants. He will also be with Kim from this season. Snell expressed regret about Kim Ha-sung, however. What has happened.

Snell, who was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2011 MLB Rookie Draft, first entered the big leagues in 2016. Snell, who showed impressive performance with 6-8 record and 3.54 ERA in 19 games in his first season since his debut, played a full-time starting rotation the following year, with 5-7 record and 4.04 ERA in 24 games. However, in his third year, Snell hit the peak.

Snell went through 180 ⅔ innings in 31 appearances in the 2018 season, before going 21-5 with a 1.89 ERA. Snell won the "Psy Young Award," which is given to the best pitcher, with the title of the most wins in the American League. However, this honor did not last long. Snell's biggest weakness was his jagged ball control, which naturally affected his performance, and he fell to 6-8 with a 4.29 ERA in the 2019 season.

Snell, who was revived with 4 wins, 2 losses and an ERA of 3.24 in 11 games in the 2020 season, which was shortened due to COVID-19, joined San Diego through a trade the following year, and shared a team-up with Kim Ha-sung. Snell, who has been spending the "Pong-Pong-Pong-Dang" season since joining San Diego, played 180 innings in 32 games in the 2023 season ahead of his FA (Free Agent) qualification, recording 14 wins, 9 losses and an ERA of 2.25 to rank No. 1 in the National League, and this time, he won the Cy Young Award in his arms in the National League.
However, Snell was not very popular in the stove league from 2023 to 2024 due to the season of pong dang pong dang and his unstable control. It was fatal to ask for too much ransom for his performance. As a result, Snell joined the San Francisco Giants only when the regular season was about to open, but he was often called the "worst muktu" when he was away for a long time due to an injury at the beginning of the season.

Still, the two-time Cy Young Award winner was different. Snell, who spent a truly overwhelming season after returning from injury last year and sought a new destination through opt-out, will be wearing the "defending champion" Dodgers uniform through a five-year, 182 million-dollar contract this winter.

Snell has a very good perception of Korean players as he has met with Korean big leaguers throughout his active career, wearing the Tampa Bay-San Diego-San Francisco-Dodgers uniform. In particular, he was very close enough to communicate with Kim Ha-sung in the off-season in San Diego, which naturally led to Lee Jung-hoo and Kim Hye-sung. In particular, this winter Snell was introduced to Kim Hye-sung through Lee Jung-hoo and even had a meal together.

Lee Jung-hoo said, "[Kim] Ha-sung is so good with Snell. When Snell came to our team, I had a good perception of Korean players, and Snell approached me first, so I got closer to him." This Snell recently expressed his disappointment toward Kim Ha-sung in an interview with Korean reporters. The reason was that Kim Ha-sung rarely received any contact.

When asked about the Korean trio including Kim Ha-sung, Lee Jung-hoo and Kim Hye-sung during the recent spring camp, Snell said, "Ha-sung, Hyesung, and Jung-hoo are all good people and serious players in baseball," adding, "(Kim) Ha-sung) have been together for three years. We have been friends with Kim Ha-sung for a long time, understanding each other's experiences and helping each other. In particular, Kim Ha-sung made great performances in his third year. However, I don't think he will have much chance to compete this year. Still, I like his baseball style."

Lee Jung-hoo didn't have much time to play together due to the conflicting injury periods, but he was getting it right. Snell continued, "Lee Jung-hoo is young, just wanted to prove how amazing he is. I hurt myself when I hit the fence last year, but I played really good baseball. Jung-hoo must have learned a lot from that. I had high expectations for Lee Jung-hoo. Because I know he is talented."

Then, how about Kim Hye-sung, who is sharing the same team with Kim even though it is short? Snell said, "Kim Hye-sung is a really good, strong player. Since Kim Hye-sung came to the spring camp early, we could talk a lot and learn a lot about each other. I look forward to her performance this year."

While talking about Koreans for a long time, Snell suddenly revealed his disappointment to Kim Ha-sung. Snell revealed, "I'm a person who judges manners on the phone, but Kim Ha-sung really doesn't answer my phone," turning the scene into a sea of laughter. Snell then said, "[Lee] Jung-hoo and (Kim) Ha-sung don't answer star calls," and added, "Kim Ha-sung works out too hard. 토토사이트 Baseball is everything to him."

Snell also sent a message to his Korean trio. He asked them to buy him a Korean barbecue. "Please tell them (Kim Hye-sung, Kim Ha-sung and Lee Jung-hoo) to buy him a Korean barbecue. Please tell them that Blake has to go to a Korean barbecue place," Snell said, boasting a strong friendship.
