Ahn Woo-jin (24, Kiwoom Heroes)’s ‘scarlet letter’ is once again confirmed by the KBO All-Star Game voting 토토사이트.

Ahn Woo-jin was voted as the second-place NAVER All-Star in the starting pitching category in the Baseball All-Star Game voting announced on Saturday. He received 164 votes, or 46.2 percent of the 355 votes cast by the players, well ahead of Eric Pedroia (NC Dinos – 99 votes). A total of 10 starting pitchers were eligible to vote, including the Dream All-Stars, but Ahn received the most support from his teammates.

The reason for his teammates’ votes is simple. Ahn has started 14 games this season, going 5-4 with a 1.61 ERA. He doesn’t have a lot of wins due to a lack of run support, but his metrics are excellent. His ERA, walks allowed per inning (WHIP – 0.99), and batting average (0.205) all rank in the top three in the league. In Pedi’s absence, she has also taken over the strikeout lead and has started a two-game winning streak in that category. Last year, Ahn won his first career strikeout title with 224, one shy of the single-season record (225) set by Ariel Miranda (then of the Doosan Bears) in 2021. He has a powerful combination of a 150-kilometer-per-hour fastball and a high-speed slider.

Despite being recognized as the “best pitcher in baseball” by his players, he has a cold fan base. Ahn received only 285,438 votes in the fan vote for the All-Star Game. This was the lowest among the five All-Star starters (Ahn Woo-jin, Yang Hyun-jong, Moon Dong-ju, Pedi, and Adam Plutko). It was more than three times the difference from the fan favorite, Yang Hyun-jong (KIA Tigers-92,745 votes). As a result, Yang overwhelmed Yang Hyun-jong in the player vote, but fell behind in the combined fan vote total. While he may be able to step onto the ‘stage of the stars’ with a future managerial recommendation, the fan vote was very mixed.

His ‘past’ continues to hold him back. When Ahn joined the team in 2018, he was handed a three-year ban by the Korea Baseball and Softball Association for an incident of school violence he committed in high school, permanently disqualifying him from national team selection under the rules of the Korean Sports Federation. As a result, he is ineligible to compete in the Olympics and Asian Games (AG), where national teams are selected by organizations affiliated with the KOC. He can still compete in the World Baseball Classic (WBC), which is organized by the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO), but he was denied a spot in March. School violence is a sensitive social issue. After being left off the Hangzhou AG preliminary roster in April, Ahn was left off the final roster in June.

Ahn’s desire to compete abroad is strong, but it is virtually impossible for her to compete internationally. Depending on the outcome, she will not be able to compete in the Olympics or the AG, where she is eligible for military service. He will also have to wait to be released as a free agent, as it is difficult to earn first-team compensation days for international tournaments 메이저놀이터순위. He is considered one of the best pitchers in the league, but his luck is limited due to his history of school violence. The same goes for the All-Star Game. Despite the overwhelming support of his teammates, his “past” is once again brought to light by fan sentiment.
