Pedi, unshaken by transfer rumors 2 runs in 6 1-3 innings against Texas

13 consecutive games with 5+ innings pitched ERA 2.98

Chicago White Sox Eric Pedi

Eric Peddie (Chicago White Sox), a right-handed pitcher from the KBO League, continued his good performance despite the team’s worst performance and transfer rumors.

On the 23rd (Korean time), Pedi started in the away game against the Texas Rangers of the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) held at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, USA, and pitched well with 6⅓ innings, 2 runs, 3 hits, 2 walks, and 5 strikeouts.

Although Peddie did not record a win or loss in the game, which the team lost 3-4, he improved his value by lowering his season ERA from 2.99 to 2.98.

He also continued his streak of pitching five or more innings in 13 consecutive games, dating back to the game against the Cleveland Guardians on May 10.

On this day, Peddie pitched the first and second innings without giving up a run, but gave up the tying run in the bottom of the third inning when the score was 1-0. He allowed a solo home run to left field to Marcus Semien with one out.

However, he struck out the next batters, Corey Seager and Josh Smith, in succession, and continued the momentum by striking out three batters in the fourth inning.

Peddie allowed a game-tying solo home run to Leody Taveras with two outs in the bottom of the fifth with a 2-1 lead, but struck out three batters in the sixth. Then, he walked the batter in the bottom of the seventh with one out and the score tied 2-2 before leaving the mound.

On this day, the White Sox gave up a tying RBI single to Jonah Haim in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs and runners on 1st and 3rd when they were leading 3-2. Then, in the bottom of the 10th with the score tied 3-3, they gave up a walk-off RBI single to Wyatt Langford with 2 outs and bases loaded, ultimately giving up their knees.

The White Sox, last place in the American League Central Division, have lost eight straight games.

The White Sox are abysmal this season with a record of 27 wins, 75 losses, and a winning percentage of 0.265.

The gap with the Detroit Tigers, who are in 4th place in the same division, is a whopping 23.5 games.

The White Sox have essentially given up on the season.

Meanwhile, Pedi continues to ‘work alone’.

Peddie ranks 8th in the American League in ERA this season, tied for 22nd in wins (7-3), and tied for 12th in batting average against (.223).

Some predict that the White Sox, who have given up on this season, will trade Peddie.

The target is a team that needs a starting pitcher while aiming to advance to the postseason.

The ridiculously low price tag for Pedi is something that many teams would salivate over.

After a strong performance for the NC Dinos in the KBO League last year, Peddie returned to the major leagues by signing a two-year, $15 million contract with the White Sox.

His annual salary this year and next year is 7.5 million dollars (10.4 billion won).

It’s an affordable salary compared to the salaries of major league starting pitchers, who earn at least $10 million. 파워볼사이트
