As a result, Samsung can no longer play with Pirella.
Pirella joined Samsung in 2021 and played in 420 games over the past three years, recording a batting average of .35-ri 509 hits, 73 homers, 286 RBIs, 270 runs and 30 steals.
Pirella does her best to win her team. The first thing that comes to mind when hearing Pirella is sprinting. It is a basic rule to sprint to first base even after hitting an infield grounder. Pirella is said to have had a good impact on the entire team because of her hard work. She got along well with players in the locker room and was recognized as a true member of the Lions.
Pirella showed impressive performance with a batting average of 286-158 hits with 29 homers, 97 RBIs and 102 runs in his first year since debut, and displayed an MVP-class performance with a batting average of 342-192 hits with 28 homers, 109 RBIs, 102 runs, and 15 steals last year. Along with KIA Na Sung-bum and Kiwoom Lee Jung-hoo, he had the honor of embracing the Golden Glove in the outfield category.
Pirella had a batting average of 285 and 159 hits, 16 homers, 80 RBIs, and 66 runs this season, but he could no longer continue his relationship with Samsung.
Catcher Kang Min-ho sent his gratitude toward Pirella on his Instagram on Saturday. "I will never forget the time I spent with you. Thank you, my friend," he wrote along with a photo of him sharing a high-five with Pirella.
KT infielder Kim Sang-soo, who played for Samsung until last year, also posted a picture with Pirella and said, "Let's meet again someday!!!."
Meanwhile, McKinnon, born in 1994, played 357 games as a right-handed infielder with a height of 188 centimeters and weight of 90 kilograms, posting a batting average of 294 (367 hits in 1,247) 36 home runs, 210 RBIs, and 0.875 OPS.
He played for the Seibu Lions of the Japanese professional baseball league in this season. He recorded a batting average of 259 (or 120 hits in 464 times at bat) with 17 homers, 53 RBIs and 53 runs scored in 127 games.안전놀이터 추천
The club said, "McKinnon is a mid- to long-range right-handed hitter with good batting eye and excellent contact capabilities, and he has the advantage of being able to defend first and third base stably."
"Based on his sincere training attitude and Japanese baseball experience, he is expected to quickly adapt to the KBO League," he said, adding, "We expect McCannon's joining to secure diversity in infield management and further strengthen the center batting line."
