The daughter of Randy Johnson (61), a legendary American professional baseball pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB), shares a meal with the ‘Volleyball Empress’ Kim Yeon-kyung (36). Randy Johnson's daughter Willow Johnson (26, Opposition Spiker) joined the Heungkuk Life Insurance women's professional volleyball team on the 20th. However, as there were still procedures to complete her membership, including obtaining a visa, Heungkuk Life Insurance did not officially announce the replacement of the foreign player until the 21st. If Johnson officially joins, existing foreign player Yelena (27) will leave Heungkuk Life Insurance after one and a half seasons.
Like her father (208cm), who was called a 'big unit', daughter Johnson is also tall (191cm) and left-handed. The first time Johnson submitted an application to participate in the Korean Volleyball Federation (KOVO) foreign player draft was in 2020, when he was a senior at the University of Oregon in the United States. However, he withdrew his application to participate as he turned to the Turkic League Nilu Per. Johnson, who later moved to the American league, knocked on the V-League door in 2022 and last year, but no club selected him both times.
Heungkuk Life Insurance (50 points), which entered the All-Star break (20th to 29th) in second place in the women's division following Hyundai Engineering & Construction (58 points), will attempt to regain the lead with Kim Yeon-kyung and Johnson 'Ssangpo'. Heungkuk Life Insurance maintained its leading position with 30 points (11 wins, 1 loss) until the second round. However, Yelena's attack success rate, which was 43.6% (4th place) until the 2nd round, dropped to 36.4% after the 3rd round, and she only recorded 7 wins, 5 losses (20 points). Kim Yeon-kyung maintained the second place in attack success rate in both the 1st and 2nd rounds (44.3%) and the 3rd and 4th rounds (46.1%), but it was not enough to lead the team attack alone.
His father, Johnson, played in MLB for 22 years from 1988 to 2009, leaving a record of 303 wins, 166 losses, and an ERA of 3.29. He received the Cy Young Award five times, a symbol of 'best pitcher', and was also selected as an All-Star 10 times. He wore a World Series championship ring with Byung-Hyun Kim (45) in 2001 during his time in Arizona, and also achieved a perfect game in 2004. He became a member of the American Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015 with a vote rate of 97.3% (8th place at the time) and has been working as an official photographer for the National Football League (NFL) since 2022, taking advantage of his college major. 토토사이트 추천
