Yasiel Puig released a photo of him batting training in a burgundy-colored T-shirt, Kiwoom's team color, on his Instagram story on the 22nd (Korea time). The T-shirt was engraved with "Puig" in Korean, and the number was 66 that he used when he was in Kiwoom.
Puig, who made his big league debut with the Dodgers in 2013, played for the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Indians. He had a batting average of 277 (8,34 hits in 3015 times at bat) with 132 homers, 415 RBIs, 441 runs and 79 steals in the Major League. Although he has achieved outstanding performances, he has a strong image of a bad boy as he causes various accidents.
Puig was qualified as a free agent who played in the Major League until 2019, but was not called by other clubs. Puig, who just flew through 2020, played an active role in the Mexican League in 2021 with a batting average of 312 (64 hits in 205 at-bats), 10 homers, 43 RBIs, 37 runs, and eight steals with an OPS of .926.
Puig, who entered the KBO League by signing a contract with the Kiwoom Heroes in the professional baseball league in 2022, played 126 games with a batting average of 277 (131 hits in 473) with 21 home runs, 73 RBIs, 65 runs and 6 steals. He seemed likely to renew his contract, but he ended up leaving Kiwoom as he was embroiled in a lawsuit related to illegal sports gambling.
Puig played 81 games in the Mexican League and the Venezuelan Winter League this season, batting .298 (85 for 285) with 20 home runs, 55 RBIs, 54 runs and three steals, and showed off his skills.958.
Since Kiwoom holds Puig's right to hold it until 2027, Puig must return to Kiwoom or Kiwoom must release the right to hold it in order for Puig to return to the KBO League. Kiwoom, which has decided not to renew its contract with foreign hitter Ronnie Dawson, needs a new face. For now, Puig is considered a strong candidate.
Meanwhile, Kiwoom has also decided to break up with foreign pitcher Enmanuel de Heissus, who pitched in 30 games this season with 13 wins, 11 losses and an ERA of 3.68. Heissus, who has displayed impressive performance in the Korean league, is highly likely to return to the Major League. 스포츠토토
Heysus said on his SNS account, "Thank you to all the fans who have supported me this season. I really appreciate it. I love you all so much. Thank you so much."
