Today's player's resume concerns the Los Angeles Angels reliever, Zack Weiss. He is eligible to play for Israel's international team in the 2023 World Baseball Classic.

The KAISPO's baseball analyst commented,
​"Weiss is a reliever who can throw a sharp slider ball. His slider ball can be used as both a finishing and count-working pitch. In 2022, he marked 0-1 with a 3.38 in 13.1 innings. He blotted out his memory that he could not get any out in his debut game in 2018. 2023 will be a season to establish as a firm reliever."

Zack Weiss was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds with the 195th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2013 MLB draft. He had his first major league appearance with the Reds in a game against the St.Louis Cardinals on April 12, 2018. He allowed two home runs and two walks, leaving the mound without any out in relief. As a result, his ERA had been infinite until his next big league appearance for the Los Angeles Angels on September 2, 2022.

After playing in the minor league, the 30-year-old righty signed the Angels to a minor league contract on November 28, 2021.

Since the big league debut game, Weiss took his first MLB mound for the Angels on September 2, 2022, facing the Houston Astros, retiring all four batters he faced in relief in the 6th. He went 0-1 with a 3.38 ERA in his 12 relief appearances covering 13.1 frames in 2022. He, therefore, ended his infinite ERA.

今日、プレーヤーズレジュメで紹介する選手は、ボルチモア・オリオールズの先発右腕、ディーン・クレマー投手だ。クレマー投手は、2023年のワールドベースボールクラシックでイスラエル代表としてプレーする予定だ。同投手は前回2018年WBCでもイスラエル代表として出場した。

ディーン・クレマー選手は、MLBのチームによってドラフトされた最初のイスラエル市民だ。2015 年の MLB ドラフトの 38 巡目でサンディエゴ・パドレスから指名を受けたが、ネバダ大学ラスベガス校で野球をすることを選択したため、この時は契約を結ばなかった。

2016年、再びMLBドラフト14巡目でロサンゼルス・ドジャースに指名され契約。マイナーリーグでプレーした後、メジャー屈指のスラッガー、マニー・マチャド選手の獲得を狙ったパドレスと若手有望株4人の獲得を企図したオリオールズとのトレードが成立し、クレマー選手はボルチモアに移籍した。

2020年9月6日のニューヨーク ヤンキース戦の先発投手として大リーグデビュー。この試合で7回を投げ、1安打1失点と好投し1、初勝利を挙げた。

2022年は、7 月 5 日に左腹斜筋の張りから戦列に復帰し、22 試合に登板、8勝7敗、防御率 3.23、87奪三振をマークした。
​

KAISPOのベースボールアナリストは、「クレマー投手は26歳で若いがマウンドでは常に冷静沈着。力みのない投球フォームでストライクゾーンの内外角を丁寧に投げわける。全ての監督が期待する計算できる投手とは彼のような投手だろう。」

The player's movie resume of today is about the Baltimore Orioles starter, Dean Kremer, who will be among Team Israel players at the 2023 World Baseball Classic. He played for Israel in the 2018 WBC.

Dean Kremer was the first Israeli citizen drafted by an MLB team. Because Kremer chose to play baseball at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, he didn't sign a contract with the San Diego Padres, which selected him in the 38th round of the 2015 MLB draft.

In 2016, he was again drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 14th round of the MLB draft and contracted with the club. After playing in the minor league, Kremer was traded to the Baltimore Orioles with four prospects for a notable slugger, Manny Machado.

The right-handed pitcher started his big-league career as a starter in a game against the New York Yankees on September 6, 2020, giving up one run and one hit, fanning seven to pick up his first career victory.

In 2022, the 26-year-old righty returned to the team from a left oblique strain on July 5 and marked 8-7 with a 3.23 ERA and 87 strikeouts over 22 contests.

​
KAISPO baseball analyst says,
"Kremer is always calm on the mound, even at 26 years old. He can paint the strike zone's edges with his powerless pitching form. He is a pitcher who can keep his team in a game, just as all managers expect."
