The next-generation ace of the Los Angeles Dodgers is growing rapidly.
The main character is Bobby Miller (24), a fireballer 온라인카지노 who throws a powerful fastball that reaches 100 miles. Miller, who was drafted in the first round of the 2020 draft, spent three years in the minor leagues until the beginning of this season and made his major league debut in May. He pitched in 45 minor league games and threw 183 innings, going 10-10 with a 3.79 earned run average and striking out 227 strikeouts.
On May 24 (hereafter Korean time), Miller made his debut with a victory by striking out 1 run in 5 innings, 4 hits, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts against the Atlanta Braves, who boasted a strong batting line, and achieved 3 consecutive quality starts and started. occupied a place.
He struggled against the San Francisco Giants on June 18 (7 runs in 5⅔ innings) and the Houston Astros on June 25 (6 runs in 4 innings) and realized the high wall of the big leagues, but soon found stability and kept the rotation steadily.
Miller started the home game against the Arizona Diamondbacks held at Dodger Stadium on the 29th and became the winning pitcher despite struggling with 7 hits and 4 runs in 6 innings.
The Dodgers won 7-4.
Miller marked the season with an 8-3 record and a 4.00 ERA. In particular, he showed his strong side in the ‘big game’ in that he won a head-to-head match against Arizona ace Jack Gallen, who is considered a candidate for the NL Cy Young Award. Galen took the loss by allowing 6 runs on 9 hits in 5⅓ innings. Season 14-6, ERA 3.32.
Miller’s fastball speed, which he threw 34 out of 86 pitches, recorded a maximum of 100.2 miles (about 161.3 km) and an average of 98.9 miles. He threw a mix of changeups (17), curveballs (16), sliders (14) and sinkers (5).
However, on this day, Miller said that his condition was not very good. After the game, he said, “I haven’t had the best pitch this year, but I’m glad I fought through it and didn’t score two innings after the fourth inning. As I always say, I hope the relief pitcher will save strength. Every time he starts, at least I want to throw 6 innings,” he said.
The hitter who bothered Miller was catcher Gabriel Moreno. In the top of the 2nd inning with a 3-0 lead, Miller hit a double from the left to second baseman Moreno with 2 out and scored the first run. They conceded a comeback by 3-4. The 6th pitch, 98 mph fastball thrown from the ball count 2B2S, entered the outer high course.
However, in the 3rd at-bat in the 6th inning, he threw a 98 mph fastball toward himself and caught it as a ground ball to the third baseman. As Miller held on scoreless in the 5th and 6th innings, the Dodgers batting line reversed the charter to 6-4 with Jason Heyward’s superior two-run four and James Outman’s superior solo four back-to-back in the bottom of the sixth. Miller now meets the qualifications for a starter win.
Manager Dave Roberts praised him, saying, “He learns a lot of things pretty quickly while facing major league hard-hitting lines. He holds up well until the second half of the game, leading the innings even when the results are good and bad.”
Miller pitched in 16 games this season, and all 15 opponents were different teams before this game. Arizona is the second opponent on the day after meeting in the away game on the 10th, and it is encouraging that they won the victory.
If he has the same perseverance and confidence as he has now, it is highly likely that Miller will be used in fall baseball as well. MLB.com said, ‘Clayton Kershaw, Julio Urias, and Lance Lynn are the Dodgers’ top three starting pitchers heading into October. Miller followed suit with a 100 mph fastball,’ he commented.
