The Mariners have had a lot of miscalculations in the starting line-up this season, but the brightest topic of the season is Yusei Kikuchi’s step-up. He currently leads the team in all innings pitched, ERA, and strikeouts, and has failed to make a quality start only once in the last nine starts, making him an ace. Kikuchi has signed a unique contract with the Mariners, and the team now has the option of a four-year off-season contract extension. Until last year, he was a below-average starting pitcher with an ERA of 5 points for two consecutive years, so it was thought that there was no possibility of exercising the option. I came. *I forgot to mention it in the video, but I’m talking on the premise that Kikuchi can maintain his current pitching level for the rest of the season. ■Thumbnail by Moto “Club4AG” Miwa https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wilfredo_Tovar,_Yusei_Kikuchi_and_Edwin_Encarnaci%C3%B3n_June_8,_2019_(48035184677).jpg #MLB ************ **************************************** Twitter: https://twitter.com/116wins note : https://note.com/116wins
