6 scoreless innings against KT... A belated first win of the season
Kiwoom Heroes right-handed pitcher Kim Seon-gi (32) was a promising star who was drafted in the second round of the 2018 KBO rookie draft after playing for the Seattle Mariners in the United States.
Although he did not grow into an ace as much as expected, he achieved a significant 10th win in his KBO league career in the match against Gocheok KT Wiz on the 2nd.
He blocked the KT batting lineup with 3 hits, 2 walks, 2 strikeouts, and no runs in 6 innings, leading the team to a 3-0 victory, and decorated his first win of the season with a valuable starting win. 온라인카지노
When we met after the game, he said, "It feels much better to win as a starter than to win as a reliever.
My goal was to pitch long innings.
I'm happy that I pitched long and got the win."
He alternates between starting and bullpen positions and joined the starting rotation last month.
He recorded only 2 losses in his previous two starts, but was selected as a regular starter for the remainder of the season thanks to his aggressive pitching that did not avoid direct confrontation with the batter.
He, who achieved a starting win 720 days after the game against the Busan Lotte Giants on September 12, 2021, said, “It’s been so long since I had a starting win that I don’t even remember it.
“I always tried to throw hard and actively, so I got good results,” he said.
Kiwoom's starting lineup, which had been called a 'starting kingdom' until mid-season, disintegrated.
Starting with the injury of key fielder Lee Jeong-hoo, Choi Won-tae went to the LG Twins through a trade at the end of July, and Jeong Chan-heon also left due to a back injury.
Ahead of today's game, it was revealed that ace Ahn Woo-jin decided to undergo elbow ligament joint surgery.
Kim Seon-gi said, “Even if there is no discussion between the pitchers, if each person pays attention to their own records and focuses on their duties, they will play better,” and added, “It is difficult for the team as a whole.
We will lay the foundation for victory by throwing long innings on the mound.” I promised.
He was a bullpen pitcher until the middle of this season, but he focused on running and lower body training with the thought that he would get a chance to start someday.
Kim Seon-gi expressed his determination, saying, "It's fun to study while fighting with batters as a starting pitcher.
I will throw harder (as this is a difficult opportunity to get)."
