Aiming for victory against KIA, the strongest batting line
Han Hyun-hee (31), a sidearm pitcher for the professional baseball Lotte Giants, is trying to restore his honor.
Han Hyun-hee will start the away game against the KIA Tigers to be held at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju at 6:30 pm on the 5th.
Lotte (23 wins, 2 draws, 32 losses), which recently recorded two consecutive wins, is ranked 9th and is looking to enter the middle rankings.
In particular, Lotte defeated KIA 6-0 the day before, thanks to starting pitcher Aaron Wilkerson’s shutout pitch. Lotte is ahead of KIA this season with 4 wins and 2 losses.
Building on the momentum, Han Hyun-hee takes the mound for her third consecutive win.
Lotte, which has a weak starting lineup, is placing high hopes on Han Hyun-hee. The recent pitching of Younggun Kim Jin-wook and Lee Min-seok on the starting mound may be a stimulus.
Han Hyun-hee, who signed a 3+1 year contract with Lotte for a total of 4 billion won ahead of the 2022 season, posted poor results contrary to the team’s expectations. Last year, he appeared in 38 games between starter and bullpen and performed poorly with 6 wins, 12 losses, and an ERA of 5.45. Players who signed large contracts, such as Han Hyun-hee, Yoo Kang-nam, and Noh Jin-hyuk, were criticized both internally and externally for failing to produce results. Han Hyun-hee has not been on the mound as a starting pitcher even once this year, and in 18 games (21⅔ innings), she only recorded 1 win, 1 hold, and an ERA of 3.32. He showed signs of change, allowing only 1 run in 5⅔ innings in the last 4 games. Lotte coach Kim Tae-hyung also saw the potential and gave Han Hyun-hee another chance. Han Hyun-hee will appear for the first time in the KIA game this year. KIA’s team batting average is 0.290, ranking first among the 10 teams, so it looks like it will be a difficult challenge. Most sidearm pitchers like Han Hyun-hee are weak against left-handed hitters. Among KIA’s main hitters, Choi Hyeong-woo, Socrates Brito, and Choi Won-jun are left-handed hitters. Woo-sung Lee and Chan-ho Park are right-handed hitters, but they show strengths as submarine-type pitchers. 토토사이트
