Foreign pitcher Anderson of the SSG Landers of the Korean Baseball Organization has won three of four games.
Anderson started the game against LG at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on March 30 and pitched six innings, allowing two runs on three hits with three walks and seven strikeouts to earn the win.
Anderson, who joined SSG in early May as a replacement after Dugger’s departure, had pitched only three or four innings in the previous three games as he built up his pitch count. “Now he throws without a pitch count limit,” Lee said before the game. After completing the pitch count buildup, Anderson picked up his first win in his fourth KBO game as a full-time starter.
Anderson threw 49 fastballs, 20 sliders, 15 curves, 10 changeups, and three cutters. He threw a lot of fastballs, reaching up to 95 mph, and had a fantastic changeup against a lefty in the first inning, but then turned to his curveball in the second. He threw his slider consistently in each inning, along with his fastball, but his changeup was poor. I had a lot more balls (14) than strikes (6).
Six of his seven strikeouts came on fastballs over 150 mph, 스포츠토토 and the other was on a changeup that was like a horse. Park Dong-won and Moon Bo-kyung each struck out on Anderson’s 152-156 mph fastball.
His changeup was fantastic, striking out Kim Hyun-soo with runners on first and second in the first inning.
After drawing three fouls on a full count, Anderson threw a nine-pitch changeup (144 mph) toward the body. Kim ducked his hips to get out of the way, but the ball sailed toward his body and deflected into the middle of the plate. The umpire called it a strike, and Kim looked stunned.
Commentator Lee Dae-hyung, who broadcast the game, said, “Kim Hyun-soo made an ooh sound. The changeup was on a course that the batter couldn’t do anything about,” and commentator Lee Dae-hyung admired, ‘Kim Hyun-soo was surprised twice.’ The changeup’s velocity, which reached up to 146 kilometers on the day, was amazing, but the ball movement was like a two-seam. Kim Hyun-soo, who had reached 2,300 hits in his KBO career the day before (fifth all-time), faced Anderson three times and was unable to get a hit.
After the game, Anderson said, “It feels so good to get my first KBO win. The players came and gave me a water ceremony, which is always nice,” he said with a smile.
“First, I was thinking a lot about keeping my changeup in the S-zone and using my fastball for strikes. I just went in with the mindset that I had to go six innings.” “I don’t remember exactly when I pitched six innings, but I think it was last July,” said Anderson, who has pitched mostly out of the bullpen in the United States.
I asked Anderson how he felt about facing KBO hitters in the four games so far.
“I think they’re good hitters overall, they’ve got power and they hit a lot of hard pitches. When they hit the ball, it goes a little bit far and I think they’re doing a good job overall.”
When Anderson retired the side in order in the top of the sixth inning, Heredia’s shrewd running of the bases drove in the winning run, 토토사이트 순위 Anderson cheered and celebrated in the dugout with a rousing ceremony. The desperation to win was palpable. “I think it was a win that everybody wanted, and we’re going to try to get more wins in the future,” Anderson said.
Anderson was also honored and interviewed by the fans. “It feels great,” he said. It’s a great feeling, especially for the fans to come out and support us like this,” he said.
