Under the influence of Corona 19, the number of national pitchers that started before the opening was the highest in four years.
The media day of the opening of the Shinhan Bank 2020 KBO SOL League was recorded on KBSN Sports on Day 3. Video recorded privately a day ago. As before, the initial pitchers before opening day were revealed on Media Day.
Of the initial nine pitchers that go before the opening season, only three of the Korean players have been smashed, not revealing just the Lotte Giants. Coincidentally, KIA Tigers Yang Hyun-jong, LG Twins Chau-chan, and Samsung Lions Baek Jeong-hyun are left-handed.
While Lotte Sampson went to the United States as her father’s illness, Lotte complained of back pain to Dan Strayley, and Heo Hoon Hoo’s concerns are deep. “Perhaps Park Se-woong, Seo Jun-won or a foreign player,” said Heo Moon-ho, “will be announced on the afternoon of the 4th.”
In case of joining Lotte, there will be four national starting pitchers before the opening. This is the largest number in the past four years.
The spread of Corona 19 is discussed as influencing the late choice of foreign players after completing Spring Camp. This is because players who have delayed entering the country have had difficulty controlling their condition after spending two weeks of self-isolation.
As high-level foreign pitchers began to enter the KBO league, the opening match squad comprised primarily of foreign pitchers. 2017 is its peak. The initial pitchers of the 10 teams were all foreigners. This was the first time in history.
Since then, the number of national pitchers that have been selected for the opening game has gradually increased to 1 in 2018 (Samsung Yoon Sung-hwan) and to 2 in 2019 (KIA Yang Hyun-jong, SK Kim Kwang-hyun). After this season, the number increased to 3 or more.
Yang Hyeon-jong takes on Kiwoom heroes Jake Brigham at the Gwangju-Kia Champion Camp. Both played the central role in selecting the team’s opening game for the second consecutive year. In Yang Hyeon-jong’s case, regardless of the status of the foreign pitchers, he will be at the start of the opening as a team ace.
At the Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, Chau-chan is in charge of the ‘Traditional Children’s Day Showdown’ with the Doosan bears Raúl Alcántara. Chau-chan’s first match was the first time after the transfer of LG and his fourth staff, after the days 2011, 2012 and 2016 of the Samsung Lions. LG is slowly recovering from the condition of two foreign pitchers (Tyler Wilson and Casey Kelly).
Baek Jeong-hyun was also honored to start the first opening game of his life due to conditionality that followed the period of self-isolation of two foreign Samsung launchers. Combine with NC Dinos at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu. NC’s starting pitcher is foreigner Drew Ruchinsky.
The match between SK Wyverns and Hanwha Eagles, the official opening match held at SK Happy Dream Stadium in Incheon, is a match for foreign beginners. SK announced Nick Kingham and Han Yong-deok, Hanwha’s director Warwick Surfold.
At Suwon KT Wiz Park, KT Wiz and Lotte Giants will open the game. KT, which is the first to open in the classroom since its inception, was unable to start with new foreign pitcher Audrey Samer Despine. Lotte’s starting pitcher is still veiled.
