KIA Tigers’ foreign pitchers Sean Anderson and Adonis Medina are continuing their bullpen pitching smoothly.
Anderson and Medina had their second bullpen pitching in the spring camp following the Kino Sports Complex in Tucson, Arizona on the 8th (Korean time). Anderson threw all the balls he could throw, such as a fastball, two-seam, slider, and change-up curve, and recorded 36 pitches. did.
Anderson and Medina are the two top players responsible for KIA’s rise this season. Last season, KIA played chin-up fall baseball in 5th place, but if foreign pitchers showed a better performance, they could have looked higher. Sean Nolin and Ronnie Williams, who were at KIA last year, didn’t show a good look. Nolin recorded 8 wins and 8 losses and an average ERA of 2.47 in 21 games, but the injury was long. Ronnie was replaced as he was sluggish with an average ERA of 5.89 with 3 wins and 3 losses. Thomas Panoni, who came as a substitute, showed a good appearance with 3 wins and 4 losses and an average ERA of 2.72.
All three of them had one thing in common: they did not have the pitch to overwhelm the hitter, and the KIA wanted a pitcher who could catch the hitter with the pitch this time, so they recruited Anderson and Medina. 메이저놀이터
KIA coach Kim Jong-guk said, “Both pitchers have good pitches, but so far the location is not bad. They throw the ball in the direction they want.” is,” he said.
Manager Kim said, “It would be better if foreign pitchers could throw a lot of innings rather than victory.” Last year, the total number of victories won by three foreign pitchers in KIA was 14. Total innings pitched was 251.
Fans call it ‘Madison’ by combining the names of Anderson and Medina. It seems to mean ‘cure’. Could it be a cure that will heal the hearts of KIA fans who were sick last year?
