In late February, I was browsing on Twitter and a tweet drew my attention. The tweet is about MLB's plan to drop the maximum number of 13 pitchers per team to 12. Well, the MLB is considering it and it’s still unclear if this change will happen. However, when I read this tweet, I was just thinking about a question.
After the Dodgers and the Padres played a two-game series in Seoul, South Korea to open the season. The 2024 MLB Opening Day is just around the corner. The new season is coming and we are going to see several pitchers make their first Opening Day starts.
The 2023 Topps Stadium Club was released in late January 2024. Well, yes, the product was delayed again. High quality photos are always the main theme of this brand.
In late February, a package that I ordered on amazon arrived. In the package, there’s a small box with 100 baseball cards. Among those 100 baseball cards, there are 2 hits. The 2 hits I got were 2 autograph cards. However, those 2 autograph cards aren’t so valuable.
Very soon, the Dodgers and the Padres will play the first game of the 2024 season. Lots of fans have paid huge attention to the opening series in Korea for several reasons. Firstly, it’s the first time that the MLB opens a season in Korea. Additionally, the Padres and the Dodgers each have a rich history of recruiting players from Asia. Thirdly, looking at each team's 40-man roster, in total, there are 6 Asian players.
Better late than never? Well, I don’t know if this is the right sentence. But, in mid-February, the process is completed. I got the redemption card.
A few weeks ago, I was just browsing on Facebook and I saw an interesting post on a page. The post showed the batters with a high batting average over the last several seasons. To be qualified, a batter needs to have at least 1500 plate appearances over the last few seasons.
Being elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame is a great honor for baseball players and coaches. This year, three players were elected to the Hall. They are Adrian Beltre, Todd Helton and Joe Mauer.
In the first week of February, the Orioles and the Brewers agreed to a trade. The trade has drawn a lot of attention because the Brewers decided to send the former NL Cy Young award winner to the Orioles.
In late January, Shohei Ohtani and Ronald Acuna Jr. officially received their Most Valuable Player awards. It’s not the first time that these 2 players received awards. Back in 2018, these 2 players each won the rookie of the year award. Additionally, Shohei Ohtani won the 2021 AL MVP award. While seeing these 2 players receive MVP awards, I was just thinking about a question.
The 2023 Topps Baseball Japan edition was released in mid-December 2023. For me, it’s an interesting set and normally, I buy some packs of Topps Baseball Japan edition each year. A few weeks ago, I saw some hobby packs of the 2023 Topps Baseball Japan edition available in a store. I decided to buy this product to see if I could find something cool.
It’s March. In less than 3 weeks, the Dodgers and the Padres will play the first game of the season in Seoul, South Korea. Shohei Ohtani, who’s a 2-time AL MVP award winner and inked a 10-year deal with the Dodgers during the offseason, already smashed the first home run in the Dodgers uniform in spring training games. While watching Ohtani begin to play for the Dodgers, I began to think about what Ohtani might achieve this season.
