Dan Straily notched his 200th strikeout today, the first KBO pitcher to reach that mark in a season since Hyun Jin Ryu in 2012.

Baseball reference has him at 185K's.  I know they are slow to update, but if they are only missing one game then he struck out 15 in his last outing.  Pretty impressive.

I believe he did.   This was in a tweet by someone who follows that league, and it noted he had a big K day and surpassed 200.

Must be nice to be a guy like Straily who wasn't effective in the MLB anymore but can go dominate in Japan.  If you still feel good, love the game and want to get a few more paydays, it's a good option for a guy like that.

MLB players probably go over there and the KBO and feel like

Korea.

Apparently baseball reference was two games behind.  Straily didn't strike out 15 in one game, but 11 in one and 9 in another.  12 was his highest total this year.  Just was curious...

It's surprising Manny only has 2 GGs. Though he had to contend with one of the steadiest 3b ever in Beltre, and he didn't do himself any favors moving the same league as Arenado.

Quite honestly, Manny slipped a bit defensively when he started adding bulk and becoming a power hitter.    He’s still a very good defensive 3B, but no longer at the very top.

Despaigne re-signing in Korea.  I missed that he was there last year, seems to be quite a few ex O'x in Korea.

 

Odrisamer Despaigne has re-signed with the KT Wiz of the Korea Baseball Organization.

It's a one-year, $800,000 deal that carries a $300,000 signing bonus, a $500,000 salary for 2021, and another $300,000 in possible performance-based incentives. Despaigne, who spent parts of six seasons in Major League Baseball between 2014-2019, went 15-8 with a 4.33 ERA in 207 2/3 innings this past year in the KBO.

Nestor Cortes is heading back to the Yankees.   Have to admit I was pretty excited about him when Luke talked him about his command and deception.   And I don't mean that as any slight against Luke.  Just enjoyed is analysis and was hoping he was right.

 

Nestor Cortes said on his Instagram account that he's headed back to the Yankees.

The team has yet to announce the signing. Cortes appeared in 33 games with the Yankees in 2019 while posting a 5.67 ERA and 69/28 K/BB ratio over 66 2/3 innings. He made five appearances with the Mariners this past season before going down with an elbow impingement. He became a free agent in October after being outrighted off the 40-man roster.

    • Good, he should cry. His performance the last 3 months including playoffs isnt something that gets forgotten easily. Atleast not for me
    • I wonder if Adley's issues are something health related but not necessarily an injury per se.  IIRC we all found out in the offseason that Ced was suffering from Crohn's in.......2020?  2021? 🤔  After Ced was pretty dreadful offensively all that season (whichever year it was). I mean something like that could potentially be at play with Adley.  Health issue but not an "injury."  Maybe something that was medically revealed after the HBP? IDK, spitballing here.
    • Not trying to be naive or contradictory, but are we sure that he's swinging at bad pitches?  
    • I tend to agree, I'm not convinced. Cowser had hand/nerve stuff and continued to play his game. Westburg broke his hand, came back, and looked good. Not sure why getting hit on the hand suddenly made Adley swing at trash out of the zone. 
    • I hate that Adley getting hit on the hand is the excuse why he kept playing and his season went down the crapper, yet Italian Breakfast gets hit on the hand, breaks his thumb and works his ass off to get back to his team in time for the playoffs.    I’m a 50% believer that Adley getting hit on the hand is the reason that he was so bad towards the end of the season, but it still doesn’t explain the drop in OBP. He’s getting down to Adam Jones levels of on base percentage.  His approach seems to be totally different than when he first came up. A hurt hand doesn’t have anything to do with that. 
    • I watched both the Elias and Hyde press conferences in full and they both get weird around the Adley question. You can feel the hesitation on saying it's not an injury, and the way they kind of squirm around the question. If we can point to the HBP then surely they can do and would have done MRIs if Adley still felt iffy after the x-ray. Unless he's truly hiding it. But it sure feels like all parties know about something and for some reason that makes no sense to me, they aren't divulging it. 
    • They might not even know. Initial x-rays were negative, it's possible that Adley thought he could just play through it and maybe it wasn't painful, just fatigued? Who knows. But unless Adley tells them (assuming they're not hiding it), nothing they can really do. Wonder if Adley just felt the All Star Break was coming up, so he'd just deal.  I think it's way too obvious of a data point to ignore, personally.
