2-year contract for a total of 19.6 billion won

This year, Korea Professional Baseball's Most Valuable Player (MVP) Peddie (30, photo) leaves NC and re-enters the American Professional Baseball Major League (MLB).

Local American media, including MLB.com, reported on the 6th that Peddie had decided to sign a contract with the Chicago White Sox. He is under the condition of receiving a total of $15 million (about 19.6 billion won) over two years. This amount is more than four times the total annual salary ($3.71 million) that Peddie received during the six years he played in the big league. This is the best condition among pitchers who returned to MLB after playing in Korea.

Peddie was a prospect who was selected in the first round by Washington in the 2014 rookie draft. However, since his MLB debut in 2017, he had a total of 21 wins and 33 losses and an ERA of 5.41 until last year, and was eventually placed on the list of candidates for release. And 20 minutes after being released, he received an offer from NC and crossed the Pacific Ocean.

Peddie, who added the 'sweeper', which swings widely to the side, to his pitching repertoire ahead of his advance to Korea, achieved the 'triple crown' in the pitching category by recording 20 wins (6 losses), an ERA of 2.00, and 209 strikeouts in NC. Even the regular season MVP and Korea's Cy Young Award, Choi Dong-won, all went to Peddie. NC also offered a multi-year contract after the end of the season, but was unable to retain Peddie in the end. 슬롯
