Right-handed pitcher Seth Frankoff who played an active part in the KBO League Doosan Bears and won many wins, has returned to the major leagues.He took a chance at the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Arizona registered pitcher Frankoff and fielder Andrew Young, who played for Triple-A Leno Aces, on the roster ahead of the Miami Marlins on the 13th.Pitcher zac Gallen (elbow) and infielder Christian Walker (oblique) were on the 10-day injured list and the two players were called up.Frankoff is a player familiar to domestic baseball fans.He played in the KBO league for two years with the Doosan Bears from 2018 to 2019. He threw 266⅔ innings in 50 games in his career, with an average of 27-11 losses and an ERA of 3.68 strikeouts and 245 strikeouts.
In particular, he played an active part in 2018 with an ERA of 3.74 with an average of 18-3, contributing to Doosan's unified victory by becoming the number one winner.He was also a'big game feature' who was strong in big games with an average ERA of 0.95 in 3 games, 2 wins and 1 loss in the Korean series for two years.
However, due to shoulder pain in 2019, he was unable to fill the prescribed innings and failed to renew his contract with a score of 9-8 and an average ERA of 3.61. He returned to the U.S. last year and signed a minor contract with the Seattle Mariners and was called up in September.
This year,he signed a minor league contract with Arizona and set out to re-challenge.He started at Triple A with an average ERA of only 6.17 with one loss in four games (third starter) in the demonstration game. He was a first-game starter for Leno and was sluggish with five runs and five runs in five innings, but the chance came quickly due to the injury of Arizona pitchers.
In Arizona, right-handed pitcher Merrill Kelly,who played for four years at SK Wyverns (now SSG Landers) from 2015 to 2018, is also working.Kelly and Frankoff quarreled for winning the 2018 Korean Series.Unlike Kelly, who is in the starting rotation with a big league contract,Frankoff is unstable.We need to see if Gallen recovers from injury, but Frankoff has to save a short time and a few chances.
