Left-handed pitcher Eric Jokish (34), who is seeking to return to the Korean professional baseball league, hit a maximum speed of 143 kilometers per hour in the Doosan Bears tryout test.

"Yokishi threw his second live pitch today at the Icheon Bears Park," a Doosan official said on Sunday. "Yokishi threw 45 balls. The maximum speed of his fastball was 143 kilometers per hour."

On the 30th of last month, Yokishi took his first Doosan tryout test, and he threw 45 balls at that time.

Doosan's foreign pitcher Brandon Waddell is out after being diagnosed with damage to the left sub-scapular muscle.

Doosan, which judged that Brandon could not throw the ball in the first team for more than six weeks, is working on recruiting "short-term alternative foreign players." 메이저놀이터

This year, the Korean professional baseball introduced a new system that allows foreign players to be listed on the list of rehabilitation players if they are injured enough to require treatment for more than six weeks and allow alternative foreign players to play until the player returns.

Yokishi, who does not currently have a team, entered the country on the 29th of last month and took two tryouts in response to Doosan's request for a test.

Yokishi played for the Kiwoom Heroes for five seasons from 2019 to 2023 with 56 wins, 36 losses and a 2.85 ERA.

Yokishi, who left the Korean stage in June last year after suffering a ruptured left thigh muscle, watched the situation of the Korean club through personal training.

Just in time, the contract of Keisho Shirakawa, who SSG Landers recruited as a short-term foreign player, has expired, allowing Doosan to weigh Yokishi and Shirakawa.
