Two former professional baseball players, Song Seung-joon and Kim Sa-yul, who were Lotte Giants players, were accused of lying in court and were also convicted in the second trial.

Yonhap News reported on the 12th that the Busan District Court Criminal Appeals Department 3-2 (Chief Judge Lee So-yeon) sentenced two people, including Song, to six months in prison and one year of probation, the same as the first trial.

They were charged with falsely testifying on July 12, 2021, as court witnesses for A and B, who were on trial for selling banned drugs to them (violation of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act), saying, "I did not know that the drug was growth hormone (at the time of purchase), and I told them that it was stem cell nutritional supplements."

A, a former professional baseball player, and B, a health trainer, were indicted on charges of conspiring to sell growth hormone injections, a drug, to Song and others for 16 million won in March 2017.

Song and others were not prosecuted at the time because the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act did not have a regulation to punish drug buyers.

A, who sold drugs to Song and others, appeared as a court witness and stated, "I heard that it was growth hormone from B, and after 8 to 12 hours of being hit, it was not detected as urine, so I heard that it was safe from doping and explained the same to Song."

He also stated, "Song and Kim asked, 'Are you really okay or are you not in doping?'"

Sentencing the same sentence as the first trial, the second trial court said, "The perjury crime is a serious crime that increases social costs in the judicial process, and the defendants need to deny the crime and severely punish it," but added, "We considered that false testimony did not affect the outcome of the trial of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act violation and was the first offender." 스포츠토토

Kim Si-hoon, who is in charge of one of the starting members of the NC Dinos, aims to play the specified number of innings (144 innings). If he achieves this goal, he will naturally have many wins and low ERA.

NC, which was classified as a low-ranked team by many experts before the opening, is in second place with 15 wins and 9 losses (as of the 23rd before the game), two games behind the first-place KIA Tigers. Last week, when they faced Hanwha Eagles and KIA at home and away, respectively, they had a somewhat disappointing performance of two wins and three losses, but NC is definitely one of the best teams to fight in the KBO League so far this year.

Stable starting pitchers are behind this performance in NC. NC's starting pitchers ranked first among the 10 teams with an ERA of 3.19. New foreign pitchers Daniel Castano (3 wins, unbeaten ERA of 1.67) and Kyle Hart (2 wins, 1 loss, ERA of 3.72) are clearing the vacancy of Eric Peddy (Chicago White Sox), a "super ace" who had 20 wins, 6 losses, 209 strikeouts, and ERA of 2.00 last year, while Shin Min-hyuk (2 wins, 1 loss, ERA of 1.98) has established himself as the first starting pitcher in the Korean league. Lee Jae-hak (3 losses, ERA of 6.62), NC's franchise star who has been suffering from bad luck, is slowing down, but instead, Kim Si-hoon (ERA of 3.47) is playing his part.

In particular, Kim Si-hoon is outstanding. Kim Si-hoon, who joined NC in 2018 as the first candidate, is a right-handed pitcher who posted ERA 3.71 of eight wins, eight losses, three saves and 23 holds in 120 games (136 innings) through last year. After struggling a bit with 4 wins, three losses and 12 saves with ERA 4.44 in 61 games (52.2 innings) as a bullpen in the 2023 season, he changed his position to a starting pitcher ahead of this season, and secured a spot in the starting lineup after fierce competition with Lee Joon-ho, Lee Yong-joon and Shin Young-woo.

Kim Si-hoon's transition to starting was based on his strong will. Since 2022, he has expressed his desire to become a starting pitcher to NC manager Kang In-kwon.

Kim Si-hoon, whom I met recently, said, "I told the manager that I wanted to be a starting pitcher starting in 2022, but he sent me through the middle (laughs). It was a bit disappointing," adding, "I saw some difficulties in the middle last year." He said, "I'll give you a chance to start, so it's up to you to settle down." So far, things are going well," he said with a bright smile.

"I thought starting pitchers need to throw a lot of innings, and they need strength to do so. I exercised a lot (at the Tucson spring camp in Arizona) to increase my strength," he said. "Last year, I didn't throw many balls (as a bullpen). I threw a lot to increase the number of balls."

Did he say he never betrays his sweat? Kim Si-hoon continued to display stellar performance in the regular season. At the match against the Lotte Giants in Busan on March 29, he allowed four hits, struck out four, walked one and allowed no runs in five innings. At the match against the LG Twins in Jamsil on Monday, he faltered after allowing six hits, four walks, one strikeout and five runs in 2.1 innings, but displayed good pitching in succession at the match against the KT Wiz in Changwon on Tuesday (two hits, one homer, two walks, three strikeouts and one run in six innings) and the match against the Hanwha Eagles in Changwon on Tuesday (two hits, four strikeouts and no runs in six innings). At the match against the KIA Tigers in Gwangju on Monday, he was shaken up by allowing six hits, two homers, four walks, one strikeout and three earned runs in four innings, but it should be taken into account that his opponent has been on the rise recently.

Kim Si-hoon, who has been rebounding from regret last year, said, "I don't think about any restrictions. I think the more I go out to the game, the more innings I play while starting, the more balanced I play. I don't think much about the restrictions," he said. "At that time, I couldn't take advantage of the advantage because the count was at a disadvantage. It seems that the frequent use of sliders and cutters that I wasn't throwing is coming out as a good result." For reference, according to Statiz, a baseball statistics site, data on Kim's cutter is not available, but the slider hit rate is only 0.10.

"I originally threw (slider and cutter), but I didn't throw much because it didn't go well (in the strike zone)," he said. "The starting pitcher can make up for the bad things by throwing one or two pitches, but the middle pitching is at most 1-2 innings. It wasn't easy to catch in there." As a starting pitcher, he supplemented his weak points such as slider and cutter, which were his weak points, and rather made it his strength. 토토사이트먹튀

Early on, Kim Si-hoon pitched in the regular innings (144 innings) as his goal for this season. If he continues to rotate around the starting rotation enough to reach this point, good performance including many wins and low ERA will inevitably follow.

"If you throw a certain number of innings, a win or ERA naturally follows. That's why I set my goal as a certain number of innings," he said.

The NBA Secretariat announced on the 22nd (Korea Standard Time) that Jokic, Shai Gilgers Alexander (Oklahoma City), and Luka Doncic (Dallas) have been selected as NBA regular league MVP candidates for the 2023-2024 season.

Jokic was mentioned as an MVP candidate early on, and the award is the most likely. 토토사이트먹튀

Jokic averaged 26.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 9 assists in 79 regular league games. His team, the Denver Nuggets, finished second in the Western Conference.

Last season, he failed to become MVP for three consecutive seasons following the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 seasons, behind Joel Embiid of Philadelphia, but if he wins this time, it will be the third time in his career.

Only eight players in NBA history have won MVP more than three times.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has the most with six.

Then, Bill Russell and Michael Jordan won five awards, and Wilt Chamberlain and LeBron James (Lakers) won four awards. Moses Malone, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson won three awards each.

James is the only player to have won MVP more than three times since the 2000s.

Gilles Alexander and Doncic never won MVP.

Gilles Alexander played 75 games, averaging 30.1 points, 6.2 assists, 5.5 rebounds, leading the Oklahoma City Thunder to No. 1 in the Western Conference.

Doncic averaged 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 9.8 assists in 70 games. His average record was close to triple-doubles, displaying top-notch performance.

Meanwhile, Victor Wembanyama of San Antonio, Chet Holmgren of Oklahoma City and Brandon Miller of Charlotte have been nominated for the Rookie of the Year award.

Oklahoma City Coach Mark Dagnalt, Minnesota Timberwolves Coach Chris Finch and Orlando Magic Coach Jamal Mosley will compete for the head coach of the year.

Heungkuk Life Insurance recorded 13 wins and 2 losses and 35 points for the season with the victory, tied with Hyundai Engineering & Construction (11 wins, 4 losses, 35 points), but rose from second place to first place as it led in multiple wins and set gains and losses. It washed away the pain of losing to GS Caltex with a set score of 1-3 (20-25 25-16 25-27 19-25) on the 9th.

Heungkuk Life continued its winning streak against IBK Industrial Bank of Korea this season. It will be able to prepare for the matches against Korea Expressway Corporation on the 17th and Hyundai Engineering & Construction on the 20th with a lighter mind.

Kim Yeon-koung shined in Heungkuk Life. Kim Yeon-koung scored 36 points, the most in her team. She successfully performed critical attacks at ages 1 and 3, and showed off her role as the "Viollet Empress."

Heungkuk Life Insurance's Yelena scored 16 points and the attack success rate was 22.81 percent amid poor conditions. Instead, Lee Joo-ah scored 10 points and Raina scored 11 points, which led to the victory.안전놀이터

IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, on the other hand, saw its winning streak stop at 3. Middle blocker Lim Hye-rim, who fought equally with Heungkuk Life Insurance until the second set but left the team due to injury from the middle, realized the gap.

Industrial Bank of Korea (IBK) showed stellar performance despite its defeat. Abercrombie scored 36 points to fight back, but she swallowed the disappointment in the face of her team's defeat. She scored 14 points for Pyo Seung-joo, nine for Choi Jung-min, and 13 for Hwang Min-kyung.

Kim Ha-sung (29, San Diego Padres) was replaced after being hit by an opposing pitcher's ball.스포츠토토

Kim Ha-sung started the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) Los Angeles Dodgers (LA) home game at Petco Park in San Diego, California. Kim Ha-sung, who took the batter's box with one out and runners on first and second bases in the bottom of the fourth inning when his team San Diego led 2-0, was hit on the back of his left hand by the body sinker of the second pitch, 151.9km/h, which was used by opposing pitcher Walker Buehler.

After complaining of pain, Kim got first aid from a trainer, and headed to the first base for now. When a follow-up batter Luis Aras hit an infield grounder, he was out at the second base and returned to the dugout. However, he replaced Tyler Wade, the reliever, before the start of the defense against the San Diego Padres in the top of the fifth inning, and finished the game on the day.

According to the test results, Kim appears to have avoided serious injury. San Diego manager Mike Shildt told reporters after the game that Kim Ha-sung's X-ray test came back negative.

Kim was out after hitting a fly ball in the second inning before going out due to injury. He had no hit and one out in one at bat on the day. His batting average for this season edged down from 0.209 to 0.208. The San Diego Padres won the game 4-0, secured two wins and one loss in three consecutive games against the Dodgers and secured a winning series (more than two wins in three consecutive games).

Kim Soo-hwan, the "phase" of Gen.G.E. Sports, who reached the MSI final for the first time, vowed to prove his performance in international competitions by winning.

Gen.G.E. Sports advanced to the MSI finals by beating Billie Billie Gaming (BLG). With Gen.G. advancing to the MSI finals, LCK has secured four seeds in the LoL World Championship, which is scheduled to take place at the end of the year.

Gen.G won 3-1 against Bilibili Gaming (BLG), the winner of the mid-season Invitational (MSI) bracket stage, at the Chengdu Financial City Performing Arts Center in Sichuan Province, China on the 16th (Korean time).

With this, Gen.G was the first to confirm his place in the final. Gen.G's opponent in the final was decided as the winner of BLG and G2 vs. T1, which are in the loser's final.

"I thought bottom was the key (to play on the day). But I'm glad that our bottom line did a good job," Kim Soo-hwan, a member of the "Faze," said in an interview with the main stage. "BLG often releases Sena, so I tried to counter them in the game. The tier is a secret because there are finals left."

Regarding the chemistry between Nidali Pick and Bottom of "Canyon", he said, "First, I think it's because (Kim) Gun-bu is very good at Nidali," and analyzed, "I think the best situation came out because Jungle and Bottom communicate well in the given situation."

Asked about the wide pool of champions, he said, "You have to be good at anything in order to be the best," adding, "I'm not good at everything yet, but I'm preparing for what I'm lacking to become a better player."

"I was able to gain confidence because of today's game," he said of the interview, which he said failed to prove at the last international competition. "I think I can prove it neatly only when I win the final. I will try to win the championship."안전놀이터

# data[].attributes.body
Major League Baseball (MLB) superstar Shohei Ohtani (30, Los Angeles Dodgers) achieved a record of only four players in MLB history at the time of the opening 50 games.

Ohtani started as the second designated hitter at a home game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2024 MLB at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on the 23rd, and posted one hit in four times at bat. Ohtani increased his hitting record from consecutive games against Cincinnati on the 20th to four games. His batting average for this season fell slightly from 0.356 to 0.354.

Ohtani had a hit in his first at-bat. With one out in the first inning, Ohtani pushed left-handed starter Brandon Hughes' first pitch slider at 83.6 miles per hour (about 134.5 kilometers). However, Ohtani failed to advance as third baseman Freddie Freeman struck out a foul fly and Will Smith swung and missed.

He later stepped down as an extra-base hit. With one out and a runner on the second base in the third inning, Ohtani targeted right-handed bullpen pitcher Nelson's fastball, only to hit a grounder to the second base, and with no outs and runners on the first and second bases in the fifth inning, he rolled up Nelson's high cutter to hit a fly ball to the center field. Ohtani, who hit with two outs in the seventh inning, pulled a sinker towards the body of left-handed bullpen Joe Mantiply, but failed to produce a hit as the ball rolled to the first base. Dodgers (33 wins and 19 losses), ranking first in the Western Division, lost 0-6 to Arizona (24 wins and 26 losses), falling for the second straight game.

The Dodgers lost the game, but Ohtani was found to have set a new big league record by playing his 50th game of the season. Ohtani currently has a batting average of 0.354 with 13 homers and 13 steals. According to her social media (SNS), there are only four players in the past who have recorded a batting average of 0.350, 10 homers and 10 steals or more in 50 games since the opening of the season, and Ohtani is the fifth player in the 124-year history. This means that the record to prove that he is a "super hot hitter" was so difficult.토토사이트먹튀

Ohtani will take a day off on the 24th and play three consecutive away games in Cincinnati from the 25th.
