[스포츠한국 이재호 기자] There were only two errors during the game. However, both were connected by home runs. In this situation, he didn’t even make it to the team line and threw more than 100 pitches for the first time after advancing to the majors.

This is Kim Gwang-hyun (St. Louis Cardinals), who saw all the bitter taste of the big leagues in one game.

Kwang-Hyun Kim started in the 2020 Major League Baseball away game against the Pittsburgh Pirates held at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at 8:05 a.m. on the 20th (Korean time), throwing 103 pitches. in 5.1 innings, 3 runs, 5 hits, 1 walk, 4 strikeouts. I launched and went down. Bullpen pitcher Jake Woodford, who came after 1st, 1st and 3rd base, hit a sacrifice fly and scored 4, and Kim Kwang-hyun scored 4 runs in 5.1 innings.

Kim Gwang-Hyun’s average ERA was 1.59 from 0.63, and the team was forced to lose the battle with a single hit in the sixth inning.

On this day, Kim Gwang-hyun suffered a massive solo home run that passed the middle wall with a high ball hit by second batter, Kebrian Hayes, after a throw in the first inning. The first ball was a curveball and the second ball was a high ball slider, and when he put them all in the strike zone, confident Kim Gwang-hyun tried to induce a false swing with a high fastball. . However, Hayes, who was aiming for a fastball, hit the third fastball that went vaguely high and became a solo home run off the middle wall, the furthest wall of the stadium.

When the first and second pitches were both high-change pitches, he threw a high fastball confidently when caught, but this showed, and a high fastball mismatch, which had an ambiguous redemption (90.2 miles) and a pitch. , was linked to a home run.

In the third inning, he found a clear mismatch. In a game against ninth hitter Jose Ohsuna, when the first two balls turned into balls, Kim Gwang-hyun needed a strike. As a result, he clearly threw the ball into the strike zone, and after the third pitch, Osuna cut all fouls. Finally, the 68.5-mile curve that Kim Gwang-hyun threw into momentary exhaustion with the game going up to 7 rushed toward the center, and Suna Oh didn’t miss this mismatch.

There was an obvious misfortune on anyone’s part, and at the Major League level, this misfortune was a home run.

Until the fifth inning, he somehow held on, but starting in the sixth, when the number of pitches exceeded 90, Kim Gwang-hyun struggled. Until the beginning of the sixth inning, the St. Louis hitters couldn’t get a single hit from opposing starter Mitch Keller and just didn’t score any goals, and Kim Gwang-hyun had no choice but to lose power. In this situation, in the sixth inning, Kim Gwang-hyun doubled the leading hitter and finally scored an additional goal on consecutive hits. Kim Gwang-hyun, who had a total of 4 runs with a sacrifice fly even after falling, threw a total of 103 balls and pitched the best pitcher after advancing to the major leagues.

The mismatch turns into a home run, he throws more than 100 balls for the first time and the team doesn’t break, and it’s Kim Gwang-hyun who really saw the bitter taste of the big leagues.
