Recently, excessive showmanship has been controversial among fans, and it seems that it can be seen that the pain in the heart may have affected the pitching.
Buchanan was controversial on the 26th when Hanwha changed pitchers against Hanwha in Daejeon, blocking the bullpen car and spraying water. It was Buchanan's light showmanship, who usually jokes around, but it could seem uncomfortable to Hanwha fans.
Coincidentally 스포츠토토, in his first appearance after the controversy, Buchanan recorded a slump he had not seen this season.
