A’s starting pitcher Chris Bassitt, like a lot of MLB players, is keeping close tabs on the Korean Baseball (KBO) league, which began its season earlier this week.
“First and foremost, we should all be hoping their health goes right,” Bassitt told NBC Sports California on Tuesday via FaceTime.
Not only in a sense of human interest, but also for what MLB can gain from South Korean teams returning to action first.
“If their health-wise goes right, it kind of opens the doors everyone else to tip toe back into normalcy a little bit,” Bassitt said.
