In baseball, the impact of superstars' power on championship is enormous. In particular, the presence and performance of short-term war superstars have the power to change the overall flow of the series. However, not every player on the roster can be a superstar. The power of players who clearly perform their roles is also very important.메이저놀이터
The Los Angeles Dodgers are trying to win the championship again for the first time in four years. The No. 1 ranking in the West Division of the National League is likely to be again this year. It is a disgrace if the Dodgers fail to win the district championship despite being heavily chased by the San Diego Padres. Shohei Ohtani is about to make his debut in fall baseball, but his biggest concern is that the starting lineup collapsed.
Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman cannot take charge of all postseason games. Tommy Edman, a Korean-American, stands out recently in this regard. Edman moved to the Dodgers from the St. Louis Cardinals ahead of the trade deadline.
In fact, he has not played in even a single game in St. Louis this year due to his wrist injury. However, the Dodgers considered Edman the right person to fill the depth of Dodgers' poor players as he can play both in and outfield. After confirming that his wrist rehabilitation is nearing the end, he boldly made a trade. It is also attractive for Dodgers to become an FA only when he plays until the 2025 season.
Edman had a little more break after the transfer and made his Dodgers debut against the Seattle Mariners on Aug. 20. It supports the center field leading to Miguel Rojas-Gavin Lux and the center field guarded by Kevin Kiermaier. Instead of Rojas or Kiermaier, he starts at shortstop and center field more frequently.
Basically, he is strong in defense and has the ability to steal bases. He has elevated his batting performance a lot recently. He had 28 hits in 94 times at bat in 25 games with a batting average of 0.298, five homers, 15 RBIs, 14 runs on-base percentage of 0.330, and a slugging percentage of 0.521 OPS of 0.851. Eventually, Edman strengthened both the Dodgers center line and the lower batting line.
Dear Sirthmatic Jim Boden listed under-the-radar players as indispensable to teams preparing for the postseason on Thursday (Korea time). The Dodgers is Edman. "It took some time to adjust to the new environment. Now I am achieving my goal," Boden said. In the past 14 games, he was the best hitter with five homers, 12 RBIs and two steals, and a batting average of 0.362 on-base hit of 0.648. He played 18 games as a center fielder and nine games as a shortstop. His versatility and ability to steal bases have really improved his lineup."
Brandon Gomes, the team's general manager, also said, "Edman displayed incredible performance in both center and shortstop. He complemented the lineup with speed and hitting skills. This is an essential element of his recent success."
Edman has already played as South Korea's main second baseman in the 2023 World Baseball Classic. There is no reason not to consider joining 2026 WBC. If you are willing to wear the national flag once again. The KBO should check.
