Veteran underhand pitcher Shin Jung-rak (37), who was once considered to throw a “magoo,” will eventually take off his Lotte uniform.토토사이트
KBO announced the announcement of Shin Jung-rak’s waiver on the 20th. This means that Shin Jung-rak was released from Lotte, his team.
Shin Jeong-rak, who joined LG in 2010 after graduating from Bukil High School and Korea University, was considered a promising player as he was selected as the first overall pick in the first round of a full-scale draft for the first time. The down payment was 300 million won.
However, his baseball career was not smooth. Shin made his debut as a pro baseball player in 2010 but pitched 25 ⅔ innings in 24 games to post one loss, two holds and an ERA of 6.31 points, but seemed to be forgotten as he pitched in 11 games, 17 ⅔, and one ⅔ in 2012.
It was in 2013 that Shin displayed his presence for the first time. Shin pitched 122 ⅔ innings in 26 games, posting nine wins, five losses and an earned run average of 4.26, making significant contributions to LG’s winning the first ticket to fall baseball in 11 years. In 2014, he pitched 51 ⅓ innings in 15 games, showing sluggish performance with one win and three losses and an earned run average of 6.66, but there were several impressive scenes.
Shin Jung-rak, who came out as a starting pitcher against Jamsil NC on October 6, 2014, pitched well in seven ⅓ innings with two walks and nine strikeouts without a hit, and LG won 1-0 with Lee Jin-young’s walk-off hit in the bottom of the ninth inning, becoming the first team in the KBO league’s record of no-hitter. In the second round of the playoffs against Nexen (currently Kiwoom) that year, he pitched as a starting pitcher and pitched a near perfect pitch with two hits, 10 strikeouts and one run in seven innings, giving LG a valuable win.
Shin Jung-rak, who had already been scheduled to join the social service personnel, returned to LG in 2017 when he was dismissed from the call-up and continued to play as a relief pitcher. Shin Jung-rak, who left a 5.34 ERA with 3 wins, 5 losses and 10 saves in 59 innings in 63 games in 2017, was put into an important situation in 2018 with only 3 wins, 7 losses and 5 holds in 50 ⅔ innings in 49 games, but suffered considerable hardships. In the end, LG traded with Hanwha in July 2019 and chose to give up Shin Jung-rak on the condition of receiving a criminal offense.
Shin Jung-rak, who started anew from Hanwha, was released after leaving 5 wins, 1 loss, 5 holds, and a 5.84 ERA in 44 ⅔ innings in 44 games in 2019, 1 loss and a 9.00 ERA in 12 innings in 16 games in 2020, 2 losses and 2 holds in 20 games in 2021, and a 4.02 ERA in 47 innings in 44 games in 2022.
Shin, who continued his career after being called upon by Lotte last year, pitched in 34 games and 29 innings in the first division, recording an ERA of 4.66 with four wins and one hold. However, he has not played in even a single game in the first division this year. He pitched in 18 games and 20 ⅔ innings in the Futures League, recording three losses and six holds with an ERA of 2.18 but was never given a chance to advance to the first division.
In his professional career, Shin has posted an earned run average of 5.25 with 27 wins, 26 losses and 11 saves in 480 ⅓ innings. Will he be able to quit his career like this? His latest appearance was a Futures League game against Doosan Bears on Sunday, which left him a losing pitcher with three hits, one walk and two runs (non- earned) in the first ⅓.
