Edwin Diaz (30) of the New York Mets, who returned from injury, fired a signal of revival. On the first day of his return, he boasted his perfection on the mound.
The New York Mets played a home game against the Miami Marlins at City Field in New York, New York, on the 14th (Korean time).
Diaz took the mound in the ninth inning when his team was 1-2 behind, throwing 15 pitches (11 strikes) in one inning, and struck out one strikeout without a hit.
Afterwards, the New York Mets came from behind to win 3-2 when J.D. Martinez scored a finishing two-run single in the last attack of the ninth inning. Diaz thus won his second game of the season. 바카라사이트
Diaz threw four-seam fastballs with a maximum speed of 99.7 miles on the day. Three of the seven four-seam fastballs exceeded 99 miles. The minimum speed also reached 97.3 miles.
Diaz is a right-handed reliever who signed the best-ever contract in relief. He signed a five-year, $102 million contract with the New York Mets ahead of the 2023 season.
Diaz, who had high expectations, was out for the season after injuring his knee during the 2023 World Baseball Classic. He was out for the season ahead of the first season after signing a mega contract.
Since then, Diaz has returned after a long rehabilitation period. However, Diaz has recorded an ERA of 5.40 in 20 games this season. He has four Blon saves.
Diaz was also placed on the injured list on April 15 due to right shoulder impingement syndrome. He returned after injury. However, he got injured again after slumping.
Diaz also expressed his intention to give up the closing pitcher himself. As a result, there was a possibility that Diaz would not be in charge of the closing pitcher even if he returned from the injured list.
However, the New York Mets left Diaz with the ninth inning right after his return. Though he did not save, he pitched in the ninth inning to enable Diaz to come from behind by one point.
Diaz perfectly lived up to expectations of New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza. He blocked the ninth inning when his team was lagging just one point behind, serving as a springboard for his come-from-behind victory.
Above all, it is positive that he has fully recovered his past ball power. Diaz, who is up to 99.6 miles, can never be easily attacked.
Meanwhile, Tanner Scott, a relief pitcher for Miami, cried while hitting a walk-off home run. Scott had his second Blon save and five losses in this season.
In addition, Miami Roderri Munoz and New York Mets Luis Severino, who were starting pitchers for both teams, pitched six scoreless innings and one run in six innings, respectively, but were satisfied with the no-decision.
