Atlanta Executes KRW 22 Billion Option With Ozuna, 'Young Man'

Blog Article

Marcel Ozuna (34), who was like the only ray of light in the Atlanta Braves lineup in the 2024 season when most of the players were the worst, will stay on the team.

The Major League's official website, MLB.com , said on the 5th (Korea time) that Atlanta will implement the $16 million club option for the 2025 season against Ozuna.

This is a natural choice. Ozuna has led the team's batting lineup this season. The option is also worth 16 million U.S. dollars. There is no reason not to implement it.

Ozuna, who is in his 12th year in the Major League, played in 162 games this season and recorded a batting average of 0.302, 39 home runs, 104 RBIs, 96 runs and 183 hits, and an on-base percentage of 0.378 OPS of 0.925.
Without Shohei Ohtani, he would have competed against Ketel Marte for the best hitter in the National League. Ozuna played the role of a young man in a team's batting lineup that suffered a collective slump.

However, this season is not Ozuna's career high. When he was with the Miami Marlins in 2017, he had a batting average of 0.312 with 37 homers and 124 RBIs and an on-base percentage of 0.376 OPS of 0.924.
Ozuna is expected to aim for the last big chance through good performance in the upcoming 2025 season. If the performance of this season is reproduced, a good contract will follow.

Atlanta suffered greatly this season when its batters fell into a collective slump with the exception of Ozuna. The strongest lineup collapsed just a year ago. 토토사이트
However, the collapsed lineup can be revived as if it were a lie in the 2025 season. Players have splendid faces. Above all, Ronald Acuña Jr. will come back from injury.
