There was no ‘Kim Gwang-hyun worry’ in SSG Landers coach Kim Won-hyung’s idea. He is off to a bad start, but he is in the position that all Kim Gwang-hyun needs is time to find himself.
Kim Gwang-hyun started against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 27th and fell short of expectations with 6 hits, 1 home run, 2 walks, 2 strikeouts and 3 runs in 4 innings. SSG also lost 3-6, ending their three-game losing streak during the week.
Kim Gwang-hyun’s April performance was 4 games, 2 wins, undefeated, and an average ERA of 5.00, which is disappointing compared to the name value. In the opening game against the KIA Tigers on the 1st, he started off fresh with 1 run in 5 innings, but on the 8th against the Hanwha Eagles, 5 runs in 3 innings, he showed difficulty.
He skipped the rotation due to shoulder inflammation and won his second win of the season with 6 innings and 1 run in his return against Kiwoom Heroes on the 21st, but struggled greatly against LG.
Kim Gwang-hyun’s early season was in contrast to the untouchable appearance of 3 wins, undefeated average ERA of 0.36 in the same period last year, when he returned to SSG after 2 years. Some raise concerns about the aftereffects of raising the pace faster than in previous years while participating in the World Baseball Classic (WBC) in March.
First of all, coach Kim said, “On the last day of the three-game series with LG, Kim Gwang-hyun could not take longer innings than expected and used the bullpen quickly. There was no big problem, but as the number of pitches increased, I couldn’t throw for a long time.” same,” he diagnosed.
He also summarized the current situation, saying, “I watch the game with high expectations for the name Kim Gwang-hyun. Compared to previous years, my physical condition and shoulders are not good and I am burdened.”토토사이트
SSG is fighting for the lead at the beginning of the season based on a solid starting rotation even though foreign pitcher Annie Romero is in the process of leaving without a single appearance due to a shoulder injury. Until a new foreign pitcher arrives, Kim Gwang-hyun needs to regain his pitch and hold the center, so that the foundation for continuing the challenge for the 2nd consecutive year will be laid.
Director Kim’s faith is firm. Because he is the ace of the team that does not require a long explanation, he is Kim Gwang-hyun, so he is expected to fully recover his skills over the course of the season.
Director Kim emphasized, “Kim Gwang-hyun’s season start is a bit bad, but I think it will improve little by little. I think Kim Gwang-hyun will do well on his own.”
