Former Oriole Mike Wright Champion in KBO

[Roll Tide]

This article misleads by pointing out his 157 innings pitched. They failed to mention his pedestrian 4.68 ERA

Obviously good enough to pitch all season for the championship team. Congratulations Mike Wright

Dan Straily was second in the league in ERA with a 2.5 over 194 2/3 innings.

Yeah ... he had a 4.58 ERA n the equivalent of AA ball. Nice winning the championship

Sometimes it's OK just to be happy for someone having a little success... even if he wasn't good enough for the majors.

 

Kind of a basic human decency thing.

Biggest fish in a small pond? Smallest fish in a big pond?
Take your choice. He’s making better than a living wage, and he’s learning Korean, so good for him

I hope he at least got to pose with that giant silver sword that the team owners gifted them.

Good for that guy.  Glad he found success somewhere.

Probably the best item I’ve seen for a winning team in any sport.

I don’t see him in the photo. I guess he’s off to one of the sides. 

[InsideCoroner]

Is that him standing back off to the left? A bit tough to tell with the masks.

Some interesting observations:

Team names on jerseys are in English

None of their shirts have armpits

Team name "Dinos" evokes an image of a stubby-armed T.Rex trying to deal with a fastball, low and away

If you look at the 1st photo their is a Korean player just to the right of the player holding the sword. Just behind him there is a guy not wearing a cap that is also Korean. Just behind him is an American player. Looking at the newer photo the American player nearest to the camera on the left is him in my opinion
