KIA starting pitcher Panoni is throwing the ball in the bottom of the first inning of the ‘2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League’ game between KIA Tigers and KT Wiz held at KT Wiz Park in Jangan-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do on the afternoon of the 24th.
Foreign pitcher Thomas Panoni (29), who played for the KIA Tigers this year, will pitch in the United States next season.
John Heyman of the New York Post said on the 19th (Korean time), “Left-handed Pitcher Thomas Panoni signed a minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs.
According to this, Panoni will start in Triple A next season and receive $800,000 when promoted to the big league. It has been reported that next year's Cubs spring training camp is also included.
Panoni, who wore the KIA uniform as a substitute player in 2022, recorded 3 wins, 4 losses, and an average ERA of 2.72.
It was not a bad performance, but KIA wanted a stronger pitcher. I chose to break up with Panoni.
However, Sean Anderson and Adonis Medina, who started together this year, both performed poorly and were released midway, and KIA brought in Mario Sanchez and Panoni to fill the vacant positions.
Panoni pitched in 16 games this year, leaving a record of 6 wins, 3 losses, and an ERA of 4.26.
KIA included Panoni on the pending player list after the end of the season and renewed his contract. While leaving the possibility open, they moved on a 'two-track' basis by looking for a better pitcher.
However, as Panoni attempted to re-enter the major leagues, the breakup was confirmed. KIA will replace all foreign pitchers next season by saying goodbye to Panoni following Sanchez, who was removed from the pending player list. 카지노사이트
