In fact, a big shot that the big three KBO leagues paid attention to
The slump of Tyler Biddy (31), a big-name foreign pitcher noted by the KBO League, is noticeable.
The full count, a Japanese media outlet, said on Wednesday that B.D., who played for the Yomiuri Giants last year, has been struggling in the minor leagues. B.D., a member of Triple-A in the minor league under the Cleveland Guardians, posted 12 games (five starts) with four losses and an 11.28 ERA in this season, but his performance in the Major League for a while is not that good either. His MLB record for this season is one win and an 8.36 ERA in 13 games.
Last year, Biddy pitched in 30 games (six starts) for the Yomiuri Giants of the Japanese National League and recorded an ERA of 3.99. Chances are high that he would renew his contract with the starting pitcher as a swing man who moves between the starting pitcher and the bullpen. However, he chose to quit the team and went back to the U.S. He showed interest in the Korean pro baseball league. At the time, a foreign scout evaluated Tyler Biddy and Thomas Hatch (Hiroshima Toyo Carp) and Cody Pons (Rakuten Golden Eagles) as the “big three” foreign pitchers.
Biddy, who chose to return to MLB, was very popular. In January, the U.S. sports channel ESPN reported on Biddy’s trip to Cleveland, adding that he received attention from several clubs, including the Houston Astros, Miami Marlins, San Diego Padres, Pittsburgh Pirates, Minnesota Twins, and New York Yankees. Biddy has a unique background. In 2011, he was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays as the 21st overall pick in the first round in the rookie draft, but he did not sign a contract. After going to college (Vanderbilt), he was again selected as the 14th overall pick in the first round in the 2014 rookie draft, and took his first professional step. The down payment for joining the team alone was $2.61 million (3.6 billion won). Expectations that he would be able to get a position in MLB were overshadowed. Considering his stellar past, his current report card feels even more shabby.
“He took the mound last year as the starting pitcher for the opening year of the Yomiuri Giants’ first season in Japan,” Full Count said. “He signed a minor league contract with Cleveland this season, was promoted to the big league after being invited to the camp, and pitched five consecutive games without allowing any runs since his first appearance. After being demoted to Triple-A in the minor league through waivers, Biddy went through twists and turns going through the injured list (IL). Considering the 11-point ERA, it will not be easy for him to re-enter the MLB roster.
