Average ERA 2.79 Cruise after returning to the big leagues

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Eric Peddy

Eric Peddy (Chicago White Sox), a former NC Dinos player who received the 2023 KBO League Most Valuable Player Award (MVP), in his second regular league starting game after returning to the Major League Baseball (MLB) of the American Professional Baseball League. It was a great pitch.

Peddie started the 2024 MLB visiting game against the Kansas City Royals held at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, USA on the 6th (Korean time) and pitched well, allowing 6 hits, 2 walks, 4 strikeouts, and 1 run in 5 innings.

Although the team lost 1-2 due to the silence of the team's batting line and could not record a win or loss, it was a meaningful game for Peddie.

Peddie, who gave up the first run by allowing consecutive hits after two outs in the first inning, pitched salty starting in the second inning.

In a crisis with 2 outs and 1st and 2nd bases, he escaped the crisis by inducing Mikel Garcia to a ground ball to 3rd base, and in the 3rd inning with 2 outs and 1st bases on base, he handled MJ Melendez with a fly ball to left field.

He gave up a hit in the third inning, but showed excellent crisis management skills by catching Kyle Isbell with a grounder to second base.

In the last inning of the 5th inning, a three-way strike was recorded.

Peddie used his main weapon, the sweeper, which was effective in the KBO League in every game.

The pitch that caught Garcia in the second inning was also a sweeper.

Peddie dropped his ERA this season from 2.79 to 2.79 with a good pitch that day. He has the second-best performance among the team's starters.

He pitched somewhat unsatisfactorily against the Detroit Tigers on the 1st, allowing 5 hits, 2 home runs, 1 walk, 7 strikeouts, and 2 runs in 4⅔ innings, but made up for it in his second starting pitch.

Peddie went 20-6 with a 2.00 ERA and 209 strikeouts in NC last year, then signed a two-year contract with the White Sox for a total of $15 million and returned to the United States.
