Yu Darubish Looking Forward to MLB Seoul Opening Game, “I Heard Korean Food is Delicious”
Hopeful for starting mound, “Elbow condition is not bad.”
The official opening game of the Major League Baseball (MLB), which will be held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul next month, the two-game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, is attracting great attention, and the participating players are not hiding their expectations.
San Diego’s Japanese starting pitcher Yu Darubish (37) completed the team’s spring camp training held at the Peoria Sports Complex in Arizona, USA on the 12th (Korean time) and expressed his intention to start the opening series in Seoul.
He said, “The current condition of my elbow is not bad, so I can pitch in the Seoul Series.” 토토사이트 순위
Added, “Korea is a country I have liked for a long time, and I also like Korean baseball.”
Yu Darubish added, “There are a lot of baseball fans in Korea, so I can play in Seoul.”
“It’s a very honorable thing to be there,” he said.
He continued, “I heard that Korean food is really delicious,” and added, “I’m looking forward to a delicious meal.”
He also said with a smile, “Rather than eating food, I want to enjoy a light drink after winning against the Dodgers.”
Yu Darubish, a starting pitcher with a total of 103 MLB wins (85 losses), ended his season early due to an elbow injury last September, but chose rehabilitation instead of surgery and focused on preparing for the new season.
In addition to Darubish, star players from Korea and Japan will participate in the Seoul Series.
In San Diego, it is highly likely that Kim Ha-seong, Ko Woo-seok, Darubish, and left-handed bullpen Yuki Matsui will play.
The Dodgers include superstar Shohei Ohtani and right-handed pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
Ohtani confirmed early on that he would participate in the Seoul Series.
The two teams will play a practice game against the KBO League Kiwoom Heroes, LG Twins, and the Korean baseball team from the 17th to the 18th, and then play the official opening two-game series on the 20th and 21st.
