Blog Article
Kim Seo-hyun (21), a third-year "fireballer" of the Hanwha Eagles, is displaying good pitching in spring camp practice games. He has displayed rapid pace as he pitched 156 kilometers per hour.
Kim Seo-hyun struck out three consecutive batters in the bottom of the seventh inning and one inning in a practice game against the KIA Tigers at Kin Stadium in Okinawa, Japan, on the 25th and decorated it with a "KKK" inning.
Kim Seo-hyun, who took the mound as the fifth pitcher in the top of the seventh inning with Hanwha leading 4-1, struck out Byun Woo-hyuk, the first batter, by drawing three consecutive swings and misses. He attracted Byun Woo-hyuk's bat with two to three consecutive outside sliders following the first fastball.
The next batter, Han Seung-taek, also had a strike with a slider at the first pitch, and Kim Seo-hyun struck out swinging with a slider that fell low on the outside for the fourth time in the ball count 1B-2S. Left-handed batter Park Jung-woo cut Kim Seo-hyun's fifth fastball at the ball count 2B-2S, but the slider that fell low on the sixth pitch made a mistake and struck out.
He pitched 13 pitches in total, with 10 strikes on average. His fastballs (seven) and two-pitch slider (six) were powerful enough. His speed was measured as 156 kilometers per hour and 152 kilometers per hour on average. Considering that there is only a month left before the season starts at the end of February, his speed is remarkable. His slider ball, which swung and missed five times, was also sharp.
Kim Seo-hyun was shaken by one hit, two walks and one run in two ⅓ innings in the match against the Australian national team on the 15th, the first real game of the spring camp, but he found stability by scoring no runs in three consecutive games until the 16th against Australia (one hit and one walk in one ⅔) and the 22nd against the Hanshin Tigers (one strikeout in one inning).
Kim Seo-hyun, who suffered trial and error due to change of pitching form when his ball control was unstable at the beginning of last year's season, has grown dramatically in the second half of this year. He met with manager Kim Kyung-moon and pitching coach Yang Sang-moon, who came in the middle of this season, and managed to regain mental strength and fix it with a single form, before displaying full potential. Last year, he posted a record of one win, two losses and 10 holds with an ERA of 3.76 strikeouts and 43 strikeouts in 37 games (38 ⅓ innings).
Kim Seo-hyun, who was also selected as a member of the Premier 12 national team after the season, continued his growth by showing stellar pitching in all four games, including three hits, three walks and four strikeouts. Kim Seo-hyun, who has developed confidence through experience in international competitions, is expected to be a member of the Hanwha must-win team from the start of this season.
Not only Kim Seo-hyun but other pitchers are also boosting their pace. Eom Sang-baek, a "FA transfer student" who started his first game as a starting pitcher on the day, had a safe reporting ceremony by allowing three hits, two walks and one run during two innings. He allowed one run in the first inning due to shaky control of his ball control, but allowed no additional run with the bases loaded with no outs, and finished the second inning with 12 balls. He mixed changeups (eight) and curves (three) mainly for fastballs (23) up to 146 kilometers per hour.
Six relievers, including Cho Dong-wook (one hit and three strikeouts in two innings), Kwon Min-gyu (two strikeouts in one inning), Park Bu-seong (one hit and no run in one inning), Kim Seo-hyun (three strikeouts in one inning), Kim Bum-soo (one hit and no run in one inning), and Park Sang-won (two strikeouts in one inning) joined hands in seven scoreless innings. They overwhelmed Kia's batters with clean pitching without any outs.
In his second year, left-hander Cho Dong-wook pitched sliders, changeups, and curves evenly on top of 145 kilometers per hour fastballs, preventing multiple innings. Rookie left-hander Kwon Min-gyu continued his scoreless streak in 4.2 innings in three games during camp, and Kim Bum-soo also recorded 3.1 innings in three games in a row. Park Sang-won also displayed impressive performance by allowing three strikeouts and no runs in two innings.
Hanwha, which had 17 hits in both directions amid good pitching by its pitchers, won the game 4-1. Hanwha, which gave up the first run in the first inning but tied the game 1-1 with Lee Jae-won's double to the right-center field in the second inning, succeeded in upsetting the game with Esteban Floral's two-run double to center field in the fourth inning. Floral, who hit a double to the right at his first at-bat in the first inning, exploded multi-hitter with two hits and two RBIs from three times at bat. An Chi-hong, Hwang Young-mook and Shim Woo-joon also had multi-hits with two hits each. 카지노사이트
Hanwha, which marked three wins, one loss and one draw in five camp games with the victory on the day, will face the KT Wiz at the Kochinda Stadium on Wednesday. Ace Ryu Hyun-jin will start the first real game inspection as a starting pitcher.
