Willy Adames, 30, who joined the San Francisco Giants after signing the record-high contract, remained hitless in his first showdown of the season with his former team. He is still confident despite the fact that his batting average for this season has changed to 1.
Adames started as the second batter and shortstop in the home game against the Milwaukee Brewers of the 2025 Major League (MLB) regular season at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California on the 22nd (Korea Standard Time) and recorded no hits, one strikeout and one score in four at-bats.
Adames entered the batter's box after San Francisco's leadoff hitter Mike Yastremski walked on base in the bottom of the first inning, and played a full count match against the opponent team's starting pitcher, Queen Priest. However, he failed to hit the bat on the slider that entered the zone in the sixth pitch, and even Yastremski, who started, was tagged out at the second base, changing the situation to a situation where there was no runner on the first base with two outs and no outs. Lee Jeong-hoo went to the batter's box and was grounded out to the second base.
Adames, who came out as a leadoff hitter in the bottom of the third inning and grounded out, also hit a ground ball to third base in the third at-bat in the fifth inning, sending Yastremski, the frontrunner at first base, back to the dugout. However, Tyler Fitzgerald, a second baseman, stepped on the home base when a throwing error occurred during the Milwaukee defense's double play defense.
Adames' bat did not explode until the end. In his last at-bat with one out and runners on the first base at the bottom of the seventh inning, he also produced a grounder to the third base, sacrificing the previous runner. Adames drilled home on Lee Jung-hoo's big triple to the right-center to score a point.
San Francisco added a run-away score in the eighth inning with Patrick Bailey's sacrifice fly with one out and runners on the first and third bases. Leading 5-2 at the top of the ninth inning, the closing pitcher Camilo Doval silenced Milwaukee's batters with three outs, ending the game neatly.
Adames, who had 2 hits in 5 at-bats against the Los Angeles Angels (21) the previous day and raised his batting average for the season to 0.202, returned to a batting average of around 100 percent after the game. 먹튀검증
Adames, who emerged as the biggest shortstop in the stove league with a career high of .251 32 home runs, 112 RBIs in 161 games for Milwaukee last year, joined the team in December by signing a seven-year, $182 million (about 259.17 billion won) FA contract with San Francisco. However, he has a shocking batting average of 0.194 (18 hits in 93 at-bats) with one home run, 11 RBIs and an OPS of 0.531 in 23 games so far.
What's more shocking here is his confidence. "Overall, I think the team has been doing really well so far. Personally, it always takes some time in the beginning. But as long as we win, I don't really care about my individual performance. Of course, I want to do well, but I believe I will contribute to the team in different ways until the bat recovers, and I will continue to win," Adames said in an interview before the game.
"Whether the strike goes well or not, my style of play does not change. I can't play in April all the time. That's why I don't really worry. I'm just trying to get the hang of it while training. This is just the time for me," he said. "I get lost for the first month and a half in most seasons. However, if I finally get the hang of it, it doesn't break from then on."
