While moving to different leagues, he became the king of batting for the third consecutive year. Despite his high praise for Lee Jung-hoo (San Francisco Giants), Luis Arraez (San Diego Padres) seemed to be the biggest stumbling block to becoming the king of batting. He suffered a painful injury.
MLB.COM, the official website of the Major League Baseball (MLB), said on the 22nd (Korea time), "Araez entered the concussion protocol and was listed on the 7-day concussion injury list (IL) a day after suffering a dizzying crash at first base."
Arraez tried a bunt at first base with no outs in the top of the first inning in an MLB away game against the Houston Astros on the 21st and then headed to first base sprinting, and in the process, he collided with second baseman Mauricio Duvon, who urgently came in with the base cover.
Arraez was unable to get up for a long time and medical staff were urgently put on the ground. Eventually, he was taken to a nearby hospital. It was a situation of concern for concussion.
Fortunately, the worst outcome was avoided. As he was carried off on a stretcher, he gave a thumbs-up and left a silent message to the audience, with San Diego coach Mike Shildt saying, "It's the best outcome you can expect from that situation. It's very positive overall considering how scary it was. (Araez) opened her eyes and slept well. A sore throat was to be expected, but we have nothing to worry about in terms of cognitive functions. Of course, he will be in concussion protocol and will undergo further tests. It's not because it's necessary, but rather as a precautionary measure."
The team headed to Detroit for an away trip, but Arraez remained in Houston and then moved to San Diego for further checkups.
Arraez wore the San Diego uniform last year through a one-on-one trade with the Miami Marlins, which included Ko Woo-suk and three other promising San Diego players. Having become the AL batting champion (batting average of 0.316) with the Minnesota Twins in 2022, Arraez moved to Miami in 2023 and became the top hitter (batting average of 0.354) in the National League once again. Last year, he was the batting champion (batting average of 0.314) for the third consecutive year while moving to different teams during the season.
Ahead of the upcoming season, Lee has been compared with Lee. Local media predicted that Lee, who played in only 37 games last season and was out for an early season due to injury, would perform well. Notably, U.S. baseball statistics media FanGraphs reported through its own performance forecasting program "Stimmer" that Lee will have a batting average of 0.294 with 14 homers, 62 RBIs and 88 runs and 13 steals, a on-base plus slugging percentage of 0.351, a slugging percentage of 0.438, an on-base plus slugging percentage of 0.789, and a contribution to victory (WAR) of 3.9 compared to replacement players. His batting average of 0.294 was the second highest in the entire NL. And higher than that was Araze of 0.307. It was also predicted that it would be the highest wall for Lee.
In the early days of this season, Lee was far ahead of Araez. With a batting average of 0.329 (28 hits in 85 times at bat), an on-base percentage of 0.383, a slugging percentage of 0.600 and an OPS of 0.983 in 22 games, Lee was ranking high in a number of indicators not only within his team but also throughout the league.
On the other hand, Araez was disappointed with a batting average of 0.287 (25 hits in 87 at-bats) with a 0.330 on-base percentage, a slugging percentage of 0.425 and an OPS of 0.755 in 22 games. Compared to the batting average (0.322), which is high enough to have a career on-base percentage of 0.370 and a slugging percentage of 0.419, it is not an outstanding hitter, but the batting average of less than 300 was awkward to be seen as Araez's.
However, he was gradually raising his batting average, and his batting average in April was 0.348, proving that Araez's batting was nothing to worry about.
San Diego had a good start this season and led the NL West alone, but lost 4-6 to Detroit on the 22nd without Arraez, recording 16 wins and 7 losses, tying for the lead with the Los Angeles Dodgers. 스포츠토토
He desperately needs Araez for San Diego, but it's a relief that she didn't lose consciousness right now. "That was a great comfort to everyone. Of course, the most important thing was Araez herself," Shildt said, expressing respect by saying that she is truly a "champion heart."
