Among them, the selection matchup that will attract the most attention was recently held at Londippo Park, where the 2023 World Baseball Classic (WBC) was held.
The main characters are Max Scherzer (39) of the New York Mets and Sandy Alcantara (28) of the Miami Marlins. They clash on the 31st at Londippo Park, Miami’s home stadium.
Scherzer’s first opener in two years since the 2021 season. He also took on the heavy responsibility of starting pitcher for the opening game for the 7th time in his personal career. It’s the first time since moving to the New York Mets.
Against this, Alcantara has been the starting pitcher for Miami’s opening game for the fourth consecutive year since 2020. This is the 4th in his personal career.
Scherzer went 11-5 with a 2.29 ERA over 145 1/3 innings in 23 games last year. 173 strikeouts. He still throws a powerful ball.
Alcantara was the National League Cy Young Award winner last year. He pitched a whopping 228 2/3 innings in 32 games, going 14-9 with a 2.28 earned run average. 207 strikeouts.
Currently, Alcantara has the upper hand. However, Scherzer’s lack of accumulation last year was due to injuries. There have been no signs of deterioration yet.
However, team power is the absolute advantage of the New York Mets. The New York Mets are favorites to win the World Series. On the other hand, Miami was classified in the lower ranks with the Washington Nationals.
The 2023 season opener, which is attracting great interest, will be held from 2:05 am on the 31st in Korea time. The game between the New York Mets and Miami kicks off at 5:10 a.m.
