[Comentario]In the Na League Sai Young Award, which was expected to be a close battle, Bauer and Darbish’s 1st place vote was “27-3”, which was a big difference more than expected. However, because the second-place vote was “3-24,” it was almost a one-on-one fight.

Light and dark were divided between 3 and 4 matches at the end of September. By September 4, he had won seven straight games, and when he had a 1.44 defense ratio, Darbish had an overwhelming advantage. However, he lost 2 in the next 3 games. The award has been chaotic as the defense rate dropped to 2.22 with 4 goals in 6 innings against the Twins on the 20th.

On the other hand, as of September 4, Bauer has 3 wins and 3 losses and a defense rate of 2.05. However, he bounced back from there, and in September he continued to throw good shots with a quality start (6 times or more, own responsibility within 3) for 5 straight games with 2 wins and 2 losses. On the 23rd, he got on the board in the middle of Matchday 3 in a game to advance to the postseason, and in the 8th inning he made a good pitch with 1 goal. By putting him on the 100K platform with 12 strikes, he immediately established a good impression.

However, some say the difference was not as great as the result of the first-place vote. In the 11 games Bauer pitched, Le’s army was 6-5, and in the 12 games that Darbish pitched, Ka’s army was 9-3. The number of goals that cannot be blamed is 3 for Bauer and 1 for Darbish. It can’t be overlooked that Darbish’s input, who has endured the stumbles of his allies with the highest number of pitches in the league, is reflected in the game’s pitching win rate.

Due to the influence of Corona, the number of games was reduced to 60, and this season, which was limited to competitions in the same area, reporters in charge of other areas would have had to judge the voting ranking based on the numbers. . It can be said that the difference of 78 points is the result of the peculiarities of this season.[Cargo de MLB = Mamoru Shizuka]
