Fujinami succee

Fujinami succeeds in surviving ML with 'quick speed and poor performance'

Shintaro Fujinami (30), who performed poorly despite his fastball, succeeded in surviving in the major league. Wears a New York Mets uniform.

John Heyman of the New York Post, a local New York media outlet, reported on the 3rd (Korean time) that the New York Mets and Fujinami agreed to a one-year contract worth $3.35 million.

With this, Fujinami succeeded in his major league survival. Even last year's worst performance appears to have been possible because he had a fast ball.

Fujinami entered the major leagues last year by signing a one-year contract with the Oakland Athletics through the posting system.

High expectations were raised with the ball traveling over 160 km, but the results were disastrous. Fujinami pitched 49 1/3 innings in 34 games for Oakland, recording an ERA of 8.57.

Afterwards, Fujinami showed little improvement after being traded to the Baltimore Orioles, pitching 29 2/3 innings in 30 games and recording an ERA of 4.85.

Last year, he pitched 79 innings for two teams and recorded an ERA of 7.18. As a result, Fujinami's major league career seemed to end last year.

However, Fujinami was successful in securing a one-year contract from the New York Mets on the free agent market to continue his major league career.
