He is an important player. Foreign pitcher Mitch White flew to Korea on the 28th.
The SSG club said on the 28th that Mitch White feels uncomfortable with his right hamstring during training the previous day, so he will return to Korea today for an examination" he said.
White is a Korean pitcher who is famous for his resemblance to Park Chan-ho. There was a time when both grandparents and mothers were Korean, and the Korean national team tried to recruit them for the WBC tournament.
He started his career with the Los Angeles Dodgers through the 2016 draft and later played for the Milwaukee Brewers this season after playing for the Toronto Blue Jays and San Francisco Giants. He pitched in a total of 71 games in the Major League and played 185 innings, recording 4 wins, 12 losses and a 5.25 ERA. The maximum 157km fastball with intense rotation is an impressive pitcher. Last season's average speed reached 152 km. In addition, it is evaluated that the breaking balls such as pitch, curve, and sweeper with large angles and sharp movements are also high-quality.
On the 19th (Korea time), he pitched one inning in his own match against Hongbaek in the United States, recording one hit, one strikeout, and no run, but he was lifting himself toward the season in good condition by shooting up to 152km at the time.
White was scheduled to start in his last practice game against the LG Twins on March 4 in Okinawa and pitch his first real game against a KBO League team except for his own Red and White match.
However, due to the injury, he was forced to return home for now. The club announced that the injury was not significant, but that it had taken measures to return home to prevent further injuries as the season was just around the corner.
