The first starter collapsed. The Kiwoom Heroes, the only foreign pitcher in the KBO this year, is hit harder.

In the opening game against the Samsung Lions on the 22nd, Kenny Rosenberg threw 74 pitches in three innings, slumping with eight hits, four walks and eight runs.메이저놀이터

He was a player whose ball control was his strength, but he couldn't throw the ball wherever he wanted. Kiwoom also lost its strength as the ace pitcher shook greatly from the beginning of the game. In the end, he lost 5-13.

Up until the exhibition game, Rosenberg was a promising pitcher this season. In the final exhibition game against the Doosan Bears, he pitched perfect pitching with seven strikeouts and no runs in five innings.

Rosenberg's biggest strength is that he can throw fastballs in the late 140 kilometers range, sliders, curves, changeups, and other various breaking balls. He was also praised for his excellent speed control.

Kiwoom has been interested in it for a long time and has made several offers for recruitment. He was so confident in his success that he chose the proven foreign pitching duo Ariel Furado and Enmanus de Heysus.

Even Samsung coach Park Jin-man did not expect Rosenberg to collapse in the opening game. "My strategy was to send Rosenberg down as soon as possible because I liked it during the trial game. Honestly, I didn't expect Rosenberg to go down early because we were good. We had planned to increase Rosenberg's pitch count and get off the mound as quickly as possible and target the Kiwoom bullpen," he said.

Tension is the cause of the team's poor performance. "I felt very nervous. The ball that I thought was a strike early in the game was a ball, and it shook from then on. I should have kept it simple on the mound," Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said.

"(Rosenberg) has a lot on his mind. His attempt to play a full game between the left and the right was poisonous. Considering the pitch type, he should have taken advantage of the top and bottom to play with confidence," he said.

The player herself admitted it. She felt so much pressure that she could hardly remember the details of the match.

"The day after the game, I heard Rosenberg was nervous. It was hectic," Hong said. "I couldn't even remember what kind of pitch he threw." "My family came to see the first game. I think they must have been nervous enough. They are giving feedback well on the field. I'm sure he will show a different side of me in the next game."
