KIA Yang Hyun-jong is in the middle of the opening game for the second consecutive year … Lotte “I haven’t decided yet”
After a long absence, many native beginners will advance to the start of professional baseball. This is due to the self-isolation that foreign players follow after the spread of the new coronavirus infection (corona19).
Of the 10 KBO league clubs, nine of the club’s managers, except Lotte Giants, announced the opening match on Media Day, which kicked off on Day 3.
There are at least three starting pitchers for the fight before the opening of each stadium on Day 5. These are LG Twins Chau-chan, Samsung Lions Baek Jeong-hyun, and KIA Tigers Yang Hyun-jong.
“It has not been decided yet,” said director Heo Hoon Lotte.
If a native player starts at Lotte, four native pitchers will start the match in the first four years since 2016.
It has not been an exaggeration to say that the opening game of professional baseball in the past three years was a party of foreign pitchers.
In 2017 all 10 clubs started as foreign pitchers, and in 2018 Samsung Yoon Sung-hwan was the only one to start the opening match.
Last year, the native team was SK Wyverns, Kim Kwang-hyun (now St. Louis Cardinals), Hyun-jong Yang, and just two.
But this year, things are different. Foreign players who were late due to the broadcast of Corona 19 were unable to increase their status normally after two weeks of self-isolation, which changed the initial composition of the opening game.
Yang Hyeon-jong was the only native team responsible for selecting the opening match for the second consecutive year. In addition, he was honored with the selection of the fourth opening match for his personal career.
After completing the season, Yang Hyeon-jong, who revealed his challenge to the big leagues, throws the ball at Kiwoom Heroes and the opening home game held at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on 5 at 2 p.m.
I’m interested to know if Yang Hyeon-jong will be able to beat Jinx in the opening game. Yang Hyeon-jong did not win the entire opening match three times.
Last year, he struggled with one inning (one run) in six innings in the opening game with LG, but became a losing pitcher in the silence of the other line, and in 2016, he failed to score four wins in six innings with NC Tell us.
In 2015, he played for 6 innings in the opening game against LG, but was unable to be a winning pitcher because his batting line was broken late.
Kiwoom, who faced off against Yang Hyun-jong, created the foreign pitcher Jake Brigham. Brigham will also start the game for the second consecutive year since last season.
Brigham went through a two-week self-containment period, but due to his poor condition, he was chosen as the new director of Sohn Hyuk.
In Jamsil, LG Chau-chan and Doosan Raul Alcantara compete for the start.
Chau-chan will start the opening match in four years from 2016 when he played for Samsung.
Two foreign pitchers, LG Tyler Wilson and Casey Kelly, have not increased their pace enough to throw 100 self-contained balls.
It’s only been six years since LG Seonwoo Kim (retired) in 2014 LG started picking natives in the opening game.
Alcantara, who played in kt wiz until last season, changed his uniform and started his first match.
Doosan has been promoting foreign players for the opening season for 11 consecutive years since 2009 (Kim Sun-woo).
Even in Daegu, native players will start. Samsung’s Baek Jeong-hyun competes against NC Drew Luchinsky.
Samsung boss Sam Heung-young shook his head when he asked, “Do foreign pitchers pick Baek Jeong-hyun as a starter before the first game because he wasn’t good at a practice game?”
Lotte, who faced kt at Suwon KT Wiz Park, did not reveal the starting pitcher among the 10 clubs.
“Director Adrian Sampson left the United States (with his father’s illness), and Dan Strayley (recently complaining of back pain) is in bad shape,” Lotte said. I will do it “.
Director Huh added: “It is not a smoke detection.”
Kt director Lee Kang-cheol puts newly recruited Audrey Samer on the mound.
SK Wyverns and Hanwha Eagles, who fight at SK Happy Dream Stadium in Incheon, announced Nick Kingham and Warwick Surffold as starters.
SK announced the early start, and Hanwha switched the start to the fold when Ace Chad Bell left the elbow swelling.
SK Yeom Kyung-yeop, requesting the second outing, announced that “The second game of the first three games will be Ricardo Pinto and the third game will be Park Jong-hoon.”
Hanwha Han Yong-deok also predicted Lim Joon-seop as the second match.
