After completing the Doosan Bears tryouts, Yokishi left for the United States on the 8th.
Doosan has decided to make the final choice of Shirakawa, who played for SSG Landers, as a short-term replacement for Brandon, who has been sidelined due to injury. Shirakawa is a short-term replacement for SSG Elias, who put SSG in trouble after playing for six weeks in Korea. SSG has decided to join its existing player, Elias, after a long hiatus.
I thought Shirakawa, who needs an injured replacement, would go to Doosan, but Doosan also had an option. Yokishi, a former KBO league champion and who played for the Kiwoom Heroes until last season, came out.
Yokishi, who was building his body alone to return to the KBO League without his team, stepped on Korean soil with Doosan's support. And he went through two tests, showing a pitch that was not much different from Kiwoom's days, putting Doosan in trouble like SSG.
Yokishi showed two levels of ball pitching in the first test, which did not even adjust to the time difference, and in the second live pitching on the 3rd, he hit a maximum speed of 143km. 시라카와도 좋은 선

But Doosan's choice was Shirakawa. With similar skills, Shirakawa, who already has a Korean work visa, is a better option. Yokishi needs one or two weeks to get a visa, and that one or two weeks is too big in the process of looking for a six-week replacement.
After a short 10-day trip to Korea at the end of last month, Yokishi flew to the U.S. on the 8th. Although he couldn't achieve what he wanted, it was still a time of no loss for Yokishi. He confirmed that the KBO League has not forgotten him. And the results and contents of the showcase at Doosan will be known to other club officials. A Doosan official said "The ball and his condition were not really bad. There was also mixed support for Shirakawa and Yokishi within the club, he said.
If a club finds a player, whether completely replaced or short-term replacement, a stable card York City can be the top priority. Now that we've also checked the athlete's passion, it can be a much better choice than other adventurers.
If you had heard it, you wouldn't know, this test was Yokishi, who was able to play in a comfortable environment with Doosan's support. Doosan paid for all the flight tickets and stay costs.
