Tommy Edman (29, LA Dodgers), who was selected to the Korean national baseball team at the 2023 World Baseball Classic (WBC) as a "Korean-born" player, is dominating the National League Championship Series (NLCS).

The Los Angeles Dodgers had a home game against the New York Mets in Game 6 of the NLCS at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on the 21st (Korea time).

Edman, who started as LA Dodgers' No. 4 and shortstop, flew with a two-run home run in his second at-bat following his first two-run double.

This completely destroyed the opponent team's left-handed starting pitcher Sean Munaya. His strategy of placing Edman as the fourth batter against the left-handed starting pitcher was 100 percent accurate.

In addition, Edman has posted a series of hits in six consecutive NLCS games. He has multi hits in four of the six games. He is playing shortstop, who is heavily burdened with defense, and has displayed impressive batting performance.

Edman had a batting average of 0.409, seven RBIs without a home run, and an on-base percentage of 0.391 OPS of 0.891 in five games through Game 5 of the NLCS. Two extra-base hits were added in Game 6.

Edman said, "If the Los Angeles Dodgers win the World Series on the day, chances are high that he will win the NLCS MVP award. It is the first time in Korean history. 먹튀검증

Edman moved to the Los Angeles Dodgers from St. Louis Cardinals in a triangular trade in late July. Edman's acquisition has become a stroke of genius.
