Darbish, who had never been interested in personal titles, responded with a slight smile to the topic of more victories, which was almost confirmed.

On the 23rd, rival horse Bauer (Reds) scored a goal eight times in halfway through the third day and hit 100 strikes, and the voice of the “favorite Bauer” began to rise among the American media. .. However, after finishing the final climb, Darbish ranked high in the major divisions with 8 wins (1st in league), 2.01 defense rate (2nd in league), 93 strikeouts (3rd in league). in the league) and 76 pitches (2nd in the league). Sort in. Printing has improved dramatically.

However, for Darbish, I have not played for the Sai Young award. After 15 years of Tommy John surgery and inexplicable failure, he has been researching and training for higher pitches. “I couldn’t imagine being thrown in the best condition at the age of 34.” We are looking at the number one in the world beyond the playoffs. “Even if you feel weird, it’s not going in the right direction.” Champion Ring and Sai Young Award. If both catches are made, Darbish will become a great pitcher who will make a name for himself in big ball history.
