Cincinnati Reds pitcher Andrew Abbott (24) announced a ‘historic’ start.

Abbott’s ERA, which won all three appearances of the season, is ‘0’. He did not allow a single run in 17 2/3 innings.먹튀검증
According to ESPN, an American sports channel, Abbott became the first pitcher since 1893 to pitch at least five innings in his first three big league starts and not give up a run. In 1893, the distance of the mound from home plate was adjusted to the current 18.44. “It’s a really cool record,” he said. “I wouldn’t be where I am today if the team didn’t play well behind me. All the pieces are coming together. Hopefully we can continue our winning streak now.” With the victory on the 17th, Cincinnati ran a six-game winning streak and tied for second place in the Central Division of the National League with a record of 35 wins and 35 losses. The recent uptrend is noticeable to the extent that the game gap with the district’s leading Milwaukee Brewers is only 0.5 games.

Abbott was selected by the New York Yankees in the 36th round of the 2017 draft. However, he went to the University of Virginia without a contract and tried again for the 2021 rookie draft. As a result, he wore the Cincinnati uniform with No. 53 overall for the second round. Down payment of 1.3 million dollars (1.7 billion won). Last year, he went 10-7 with an ERA of 3.81 in minor league double-A and top single-A. He went 3-0 with a 3.05 earned run average in Triple-A this season, continuing his solid performance. He made his debut at the same time as his last 6 big league call-up and has been performing beyond expectations ever since.
Abbott’s performance is ‘healing rain from the drought’. Cincinnati’s starting ERA was 5.78, ranking 28th out of 30 major league teams. The starting pitcher’s batting average is also 0.287, ranking 28th. In the situation where there are not a few injuries, Abbott’s scoreless pitching relieved the pressure.
