SSG Landers coach Kim Won-hyung expressed his gratitude to left-handed native ace Kim Gwang-hyeon on the 13th.
Coach Kim praised Gwang-Hyun Kim, who pitched well against KT Wiz the previous day, allowing 4 hits, 2 walks, 5 strikeouts, and 1 run in 6 innings, saying, “He gave me a good start to the week.”
Although they lost 0-3 due to 8 scoreless innings by KT starter Wes Benjamin, it was evaluated as an opportunity to strengthen the team’s recently faltering performance.
While SSG suffered 7 losses (2 wins, 1 draw) in the last 10 games excluding the previous day, the average ERA of the starting pitchers soared to 7.80.안전놀이터
SSG’s mound, which also recorded an ERA of 6.00, is evaluated as the weakest among the last 10 teams.
Gwang-Hyun Kim also collapsed in his previous appearance against the Hanwha Eagles on the 6th, allowing 9 hits, 2 walks, and 4 runs in 3⅔ innings.
Manager Kim Won-hyung met with reporters at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on this day and said, “I said I hoped the remaining starting pitchers, excluding Roenis Elias, would play their roles this week, and although Gwanghyun conceded a run, he gave us a good start to the week.” I looked back.
He also praised Kim Gwang-hyun’s excellent performance in the top of the 6th inning with 2 outs and runners on 1st and 3rd base.
Gwang-Hyun Kim ran and caught a ground ball flowing towards the third baseman, then twisted his body in the air and threw it perfectly to first base.
Coach Kim said, “It was a brilliant defense that Kim Kwang-hyun could play,” and “When I was young, I couldn’t throw a snap, but now with practice, I can naturally throw the ball well even from short distances.”
Coach Kim, whose game against the Doosan Bears was canceled due to rain that day, hoped that “today’s rain will change the mood.”
