The pitcher was hit twice in one game. The part that was hit both times was the leg, so it was a situation where I could react sensitively, but instead I laughed.
KIA Eui-ri Lee started the away game against KT Wiz in the ‘2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League’ held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do on the 8th and won the first half of the season with 5 innings, 3 hits, 2 walks, 8 strikeouts, and no runs. Closed.온라인바카라
The first collaboration with catcher Kim Tae-gun was successful and overwhelmed the KT lineup with a powerful pitch. But there were also dire situations. Eui-ri Lee was hit twice by a KT hitter. The first hit was in the bottom of the first inning. KT Jang Seong-woo’s batted ball from the 2nd and 1st base was deflected after being hit by his left foot, and Lee Eui-ri quickly caught the ball and threw it to 1st base, but made a mistake in throwing. Coach Jae-eung Seo and his trainer climbed the mound in surprise, and Eui-ri Lee sent a sign saying he was fine. Fortunately, he was able to continue pitching without major problems.
However, in the bottom of the 5th inning, I had the bad luck to hit the ball again. After two outs at the end of the 5th inning, KT Kim Min-hyeok’s ball hit the left shin and became an infield hit. When Eui-ri Lee limped and complained of pain, coach Jae-eung Seo and trainer ran to the mound again. Lee Eui-ri smiled and sent a sign that it was okay, but Seo Jae-eung was worried as he sent a sign to wait for the bullpen pitcher in case of an unexpected situation.
And after confirming that there was no problem with Lee Eui-ri, he smiled and joked, “Why are you like this today?” Coach Seo Jae-eung’s delightful leadership helped Eui-ri Lee relieve tension and deal with the next hitter comfortably. In the end, Hwang Jae-kyun struck out in the 2nd base 1.2 crisis and finished pitching that day.
Meanwhile, coach Seo Jae-eung returned to the pitching coach on the 29th of last month. After serving as the main pitching coach for the first team last year, he moved to the remaining team after the season, but returned to the first team after half a year. The average ERA of KIA starting pitchers in June was the lowest at 6.32. Not only the starters but also the bullpen were unstable. KIA expects coach Seo Jae-eung’s older brother’s leadership to help renew the atmosphere. Even when Lee Eui-ri was hit by a batted ball, I could feel the strength of coach Seo Jae-eung, who had good chemistry with the players.
KIA, which recently won 5 consecutive wins, once fell to 9th place, but raised the ranking to 6th ahead of the All-Star break, foreshadowing a great counterattack in the second half. Now, it is 1 game away from 5th place NC and 2 games away from 4th place Lotte. If you continue your winning streak in the last series of the first half against Samsung, which will be held from the 11th, you can return to the 50% odds ratio and rise to the 4th place. As Yang Hyeon-jong and Yoon Young-cheol are scheduled to start in the rotation, KIA’s upward trend is expected to continue.
