[Lin Zhijie/Comprehensive Report]The San Diego Padres will fly to South Korea in a week to play an overseas game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. In the first game, the Japanese strongman Darvish will be the starter. In a recent interview, he revealed that this is his first game. I am very happy and honored to be able to start the opening game of South Korea.
Darvish was affected by injuries last year and only played 24 games throughout the year. In August, he shut down early to recuperate due to a stress reaction in his elbow. He did not restart his pitching plan until November, and the Padres have been scheduled to play in South Korea in advance. At the start of the season in Seoul, he said that he had adjusted his preparations according to the situation of the season.
The Seoul Overseas Tournament between the Padres and Dodgers will begin from March 20th to 21st. The two teams will fly to South Korea to prepare for the game in the near future. The team also announced a few days ago that the starting pitcher for the opening game will be Padres’ Darvish Yu. and Dodge’s Tyler Glasnow.
Darvish has been in the major leagues for 11 years. He pitched in the opening game of the season when he played for the Texas Rangers in 2017. After switching to the Padres, he also shouldered important responsibilities in the 2021 and 2022 seasons. This is his fourth season. “Obviously I’m very happy and honored about it,” he said of the assignment in the second major pitching season opener. “I’ve never been to Korea before, so that makes it even more special…The most important thing is that we’re facing A really good team and they made some really good reinforcements.”
Darvish has adjusted well in spring training this year. He played in 3 games, scored 2 wins, and struck out 10 times in 9.1 innings of pitching.
