The Kiwoom Heroes batting line hit the KIA Tigers Medina.
Medina started in the first game of the weekend series against Kiwoom held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 14th, and collapsed with 7 runs in 5 innings. 92 pitches.
He is a 27-year-old foreigner who played for the Major League Baseball Phillies and New York Mets. He specializes in fastballs of around 150 km and various breaking balls, especially sinkers. As he was a player who played in the major leagues until last year, a lot of expectations were raised.
Before the game, KIA coach Kim Jong-guk said, “I’ve seen it since the demonstration game, but there are times when I throw well and then I can’t control it (April 9, against Doosan, 6 innings, 3 runs). I’m looking forward to more than 6 innings today.”
It was the beginning of the ominous thing when I left my bag before the game. Medina went to the mound wearing Lim Ki-young’s uniform that day.
However, he was devastated by giving up 6 runs until the 3rd inning. KIA coach Kim Jong-guk tried to reduce bullpen overload by leading Medina as much as possible. However, he allowed an additional run in the 5th inning, and the number of pitches reached 92, so he was eventually replaced by Kim Ki-hoon.
A whopping 12 hits and 3 walks. It was literally a riot. From the end of the first inning, Lee Hyung-jong and Lee Jung-hoo faced a crisis with consecutive hits, and Lim Byeong-wook gave up the first run with a timely hit. 메이저사이트
In the second inning, Park Joo-Hong hit, Kim Hui-Jip’s sacrifice bunt, and Kim Tae-Jin’s double made it 2-0. Kiwoom’s bat heated up even more. Lee Jeong-hoo scored two RBIs in a timely manner in the second and third bases that followed, widening the score to 4-0.
KIA made up for 2 points at the beginning of the 3rd inning, but Kiwoom added 3 points at the end of the 3rd to break the opponent’s momentum. One point was easily scored with Medina’s balk from 2nd, 2nd and 3rd base, and another point was added with Lee Yong-gyu’s left-handed hit. There was no run in the bottom of the 4th inning, but Kim Hye-seong hit a double.
In the 5th inning, Park Joo-hong’s triple hit after a run. Park Joo-hong recorded 3 hits in 3 at-bats in just 5 innings, recording the most hits (3) in one individual game. Then, Park Joo-hong stepped home with Kim Tae-jin’s double. Eventually, after the fifth inning, he went down the mound.
Kiwoom Yokishi, who had a head-to-head match, made 5 hits and 2 runs until the 7th inning, making Medina even more humble.
