“ERA 6.54” in Triple-A → Eventually, DFA in Boston
Chris Cotillo of the U.S. media “Math Live” said on social media (SNS) on the 10th (Korea Standard Time) that “Boston Red Sox recruited Trey Wenger and appointed Cam Boozer as an option to make his place and assigned Uwasa and Naoyuki (DFA).”
In 2011, he was drafted by the Nippon-Ham Fighters in the sixth round of the Japanese professional baseball rookie draft and shared a team-up with Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers. During his nine seasons in the Japanese pro baseball, he pitched in 173 games (172 starts), recording 70 wins, 62 losses and 1 hold, 1118 ⅓ innings with 913 strikeouts and an ERA of 3.19 WHIP (per-inning allowed rate).
In particular, in the 2023 season, Wausawa recorded a record of 9-9-170 innings with a 2.96 WHIP of 1.14 with 124 strikeouts. He also won two shutouts.
Since then, he has embarked on a challenge to enter the Major League. He sought to use the posting system to advance to the Major League. While no news was heard about his contract with Uwa until the deadline, he has taken one step closer to entering the big leagues by signing a minor contract with the Tampa Bay Rays in the last minute.
However, Wausawa failed to make the 26-man roster for the opening of Tampa Bay and remained in the minor leagues, and moved to Boston through a trade at the end of March.
In May, he took the mound in his dream big league. He pitched in relief against the San Francisco Giants on May 3 and recorded perfect strikeouts in two innings. However, he showed signs of faltering performance by allowing two hits, two walks and two strikeouts in two innings in an away game for the Minnesota Twins on May 4. Since then, he has not taken the mound in the big league.
He went down to the Worcester Red Sox (Triple A under Boston) on May 9. He has taken the mound three times as a starter since June, but has been on the mound as a bullpen resource. He pitched in five games in June and was shaken by his 6.97 ERA with 12 strikeouts in 10 ⅓ innings, and took the mound against the Syracuse Mets (Triple A under the New York Mets) on July 3 and allowed two hits, one strikeout, and one run in one inning.토토사이트 모음
The minor league’s overall performance is 3 wins, 3 losses, 42 ⅔ innings, 27 walks, 36 strikeouts, and an ERA of 6.54 WHIP (per inning).
If he is chosen by a different team than the DFA-listed Uwa, he can make a transfer. If not, he will remain in the Minor League or be released.
