He was beaten with 2S.
LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "Let's keep an eye on him." When asked about Detrick Ness, a first-time foreign player who had three wins, no losses and 3.54 ERA in five games and seven runs in four innings, Yeom did not say, "Ace."
After allowing seven runs in the game against NC Dinosaurs on Sunday, Yeom continued to display stable pitching of five hits (one earned run) in six innings against KIA and four hits and one run in six innings against Lotte, but he still felt uneasy about the pitcher. He did not have a clear determination.
Ens throws cutters and curves on fast balls over 150 kilometers. Of course, he continues to pitch well when his ball power is good, but he was hit hard when the cutter, his main weapon, was driven to the center like against NC. After the match against NC, Ens has gradually adjusted to KBO League hitters by increasing the proportion of curves.
However, manager Yeom's concern in the first game of the doubleheader against the SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon was exposed again on the 21st.
In five innings against SSG hitters, Ence had eight hits, two walks, five strikeouts and eight runs, including two homers.
In the bottom of the first inning, Kim Jihoon Choi allowed a left-handed hit, but struck out No. 2 Kim Sung-hyun and caught No. 3 Heredia with a fly to center to make it to two outs, but gave up four runs with four consecutive hits. After two outs, four consecutive hits were not good either, and it was painful to get a hit especially after taking two strikes.
After pitching consecutive balls with two outs and runners at first and second bases and throwing consecutive balls to 2B2S with consecutive fastballs, N.S. pitched a 138-kilometer cutter, but the ball became a full count. He was hit by a 146-kilometer fastball in the sixth pitch, allowing a two-run double on the left-field line.
With two outs and a runner on second base, Ko Myung-jun also hit a 148km fastball for the fourth pitch in 1B2S, allowing a double to right-center. Park Sung-han, the seventh, also failed to make a game after making 2S with one and two pitches, but gave up another point with a right-handed hit in the 6th pitch of the 2B2S.
The home run he gave to Han Yu-seom in the bottom of the third inning was also hit after hitting two strikes first. After 2S, he threw a cutter and a fastball, which became a ball, and after that, his 145-kilometer fastball formed high in the middle for the fifth time, making it a home run. 토토사이트넷
After two strikes, he pitched harder, and he got a hit and played the game with difficulty.
Even before his arrival in Korea, Yeom said, "The reason for his failure in the U.S. and Japan is the absence of decisive tools, and we need to hone our changeups," and ordered him to start training from the spring camp. N.S. also practiced changeups, but they have not been as effective as expected.
On the same day, he threw 94 pitches, threw 46 fastballs with a maximum of 149 km, and 24 cutters with a maximum of 138 km. He threw 16 122 km of curves, but only eight changeups with a maximum of 132 km.
Fortunately, LG came from behind to win the game 10-8 on Kim Bum-suk's bases-loaded single in the top of the seventh inning, which saved Nce from losing the game. In the six games in which Nce took the mound, LG had five wins and one loss. In both games in which he allowed seven and eight runs, his batters burst and he won the game.
