Professional baseball SSG Landers brought in a temporary replacement foreign player
SSG said on the 20th, "We recruited Ryan McBroom for a total of $75,000 (about 170 million won) as a replacement for Guillermo Herredia's injury."메이저놀이터
Herredia underwent the first procedure for symptoms of right thigh abscess (fleeceitis), but the infection worsened and she underwent additional detailed examination and re-operation. The medical staff in charge expressed the opinion that about 6 weeks of rehabilitation was needed to prevent and recover from infection.
In response, SSG decided to recruit foreign players who replaced injuries to minimize the power gap.
McBroom from Virginia, U.S., was nominated by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 15th round of the 2014 Rookie Draft. McBroom then moved to the Kansas City Royals and recorded a batting average of 0.268 on-base percentage of 0.327 six home runs in 66 games in the three MLB seasons (2019-2021).
In particular, McBroom proved his slugging power by scoring 32 home runs (the No. 1 player in the league) in Triple-A in 2021, and joined Japan's Hiroshima Toyokaf in 2022 and showed his potential in the Asian stage with 23 home runs in two seasons and an OPS of 0.749.
SSG said, "McBroom, who is 190 centimeters tall and weighs 99 kilograms, is evaluated as a right-handed, big-handed fielder who can play first base and right field. In addition, he is a proven hitter with compliance contact skills and various league experiences, and he has been playing in the U.S. independent league since last year and has maintained his sense of play, so he is expected to fill the gap in the team's batting lineup immediately."
McBroom, who signed the contract, said, "I'm happy to take on new challenges, and it's my role to adapt to the league and team as soon as possible. I'll make sure to contribute to the team's batting lineup."
Meanwhile, McBroom is scheduled to enter Korea via Incheon International Airport on the 21st (Mon), and Herredia was listed on the rehabilitation list on the 20th (Sun).
