Eric Yokishi
Manager Lee Seung-yeop and Doosan Bears: "Considering Carefully Until This Week"
Left-handed pitcher Eric Jokisch (34), who is seeking a return to the Korean professional baseball league, recorded a top speed of 143 km/h during his test to join the Doosan Bears.
A Doosan official said on the 3rd, "Today, Yokishi did his second live pitching at Icheon Bears Park," and "Yokish threw 45 pitches. The fastest fastball was 143 km/h."
Doosan Bears manager Lee Seung-yeop, whom we met at Jamsil Stadium that day, evaluated Yokishi by saying, "He is the type of pitcher who competes with control rather than speed," and "I think his speed has improved to some extent."
Yokishi had his first Doosan entry test on the 30th of last month, and threw 45 pitches at that time.
Doosan's foreign pitcher Brandon Waddell is out after being diagnosed with a left subscapularis injury.
Although Brandon's condition is improving, Doosan, which has determined that he will not be able to pitch in the first team for more than six weeks, is working on recruiting a 'short-term replacement foreign player.'
This year, the Korean Professional Baseball League introduced a new system that allows foreign players who are injured to the point where they require treatment for more than six weeks to be placed on a list of rehabilitation players and a replacement foreign player to play until the player returns.
Yokishi, who currently does not have a team, responded to Doosan's request for testing and entered the country on the 29th of last month to take two entrance tests.
Yokishi played for Kiwoom Heroes for five seasons from 2019 to 2023, posting 56 wins, 36 losses, and an ERA of 2.85.
Yokishi, who left the Korean stage last June after suffering a ruptured left thigh muscle injury, observed the situation of KBO league teams while training individually.
As the contract of Keisho Shirakawa, who was recruited as a short-term foreign player by SSG Landers, has expired, Doosan can now consider Yokishi and Shirakawa.
Since the strengths and weaknesses of both pitchers are clear, Doosan is postponing its final decision.
'History' comes first in Yokishi.
However, the fact that there has been no actual game for about a year is a concern for Doosan.
The manager also said, "It is true that I am worried about Yokishi's match sense."
Additionally, if the issuance of Yokishi's work visa is delayed, the start of the program may be postponed.
Shirakawa received a work visa when he signed with SSG, and he can use it right away after acclimating to the KBO League and playing in real games for six weeks.
However, since Shirakawa, who is scheduled to be waived on the 3rd, can be nominated by another team in reverse order of his current standings, Doosan, which is in 4th place, will also have to wait for the waiver announcement procedure for Shirakawa.
Manager Lee Seung-yeop and the Doosan Bears agreed, saying, "We will carefully consider the matter until this week and select a short-term replacement foreign pitcher."
