Ryu Hyun-jin's former teammate Yusei Kikuchi (33) has made a big hit thanks to his performance in the last two seasons. Kikuchi has won a multi-year contract worth an average of 21 million U.S. dollars.먹튀검증
The New York Post, a local media outlet in New York, said on the 25th (Korea time) that Kikuchi agreed to a three-year-$63 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels.
The contract will be officially announced after going through medical tests. Kikuchi, who will be 34 years old and in his mid-30s in the 2025 season, will receive an annual average of more than 20 million dollars.
It seems that the performance of the last two seasons and the maintenance of the restraint are considered. Kikuchi has recorded FWAR 2.4 and 3.5 in the last two seasons.
Kikuchi also threw an average of 95.6 miles of four-seam fastballs this season. He posted his highest speed since his Major League debut even at the age of mid-30s.
Kikuchi, who will be in his seventh year in the Major League, made his debut as a member of the Seattle Mariners in 2019 and went through the Toronto Blue Jays and Houston Astros.
Career high this season. He pitched 175 2/3 innings in 32 games for Toronto and Houston, going 9-10 with a 4.05 strikeout.
He completed the regular innings again following last year, and reached 200 strikeouts in a season for the first time since his Major League debut. As a result, he ranked ninth in voting for the Cy Young Award.
Considering his overall performance in the Major League, however, his performance in the past two seasons and the fact that he is a left-handed fireballer should be considered.
In order for him to pay for his money, he has to show the same performance as he did this season for three years. It is questionable whether he will be able to maintain his career-high performance in the 34-36 season.
