“They seem to be so bad that they can’t recover.”
Bleacher Report selected the top 10 major league disasters this season on the 3rd (Korean time). 1st place is definitely the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox are not only last in the American League Central Division with 6 wins and 25 losses this season, but also have the lowest winning percentage among the 30 major league teams.
Based on the entire major league, 29th with a team batting average of 0.212, 30th with a team on-base percentage of 0.276, 30th with a team slugging percentage of 0.327, 29th with a team home run of 22, 20th with a team ERA of 5.15, 29th with a team starting ERA of 5.46, The team’s bullpen average ERA is 4.76, ranking 24th.
Eric Peddy (31), who is familiar to KBO League fans, is the actual ace. Peddie signed a two-year, $15 million contract with the White Sox and returned to the major leagues. He dominated Korea with 20 wins and 209 strikeouts in the 2023 season and returned to the United States to play the ace role, but he cannot pitch for all 162 games.
He’s low level just by looking at the starting lineup. Peddie is good with 2 wins in 6 games this season, an ERA of 2.60, a hitting percentage of 0.212 over 34⅔ innings, and a WHIP of 1.07. He shows off his competitive edge in the major leagues by combining the sweeper he learned just before coming to Korea with existing weapons such as cutter and changeup.
However, Garrett Crochet has 1 win and 4 losses in 7 games with an ERA of 5.97, Michael Soroka has 3 losses in 7 games with an ERA of 6.48, and Chris Flexen, who won 8 games with the Doosan Bears in the KBO League in 2020, has 7 games (5 starting games). He has 1 win, 3 losses, and an average ERA of 4.85. Jonathan Cannon has one loss in three games and an ERA of 7.24, and Nick Nastrini has two losses in two games and an average ERA of 7.88.
All of the starting pitchers except Peddie give up a lot of runs, so there are many games where they give up the lead and get dragged down. Then the hitters will not be excited about offense and defense. Bleacher Report said, “Of the six pitchers who made multiple starts for the White Sox, the only one with an ERA below 5.00 is Peddie, who had a career ERA of 5.41 over six years with the Washington Nationals.”
There are constant criticisms that the season design was flawed. The evaluation is that there are no players who will become the central axis. Bleacher Report said that the team is unlikely to rebound even if the injured Louis Robert Jr. returns in May.
