Interview with SSG Landers Director Lee Soong-yong
“We will take the process of increasing the number of pitches through actual games.”
The first appearance of professional baseball SSG Landers' new foreign pitcher Drew Anderson (30) has been scheduled.
He will start in the visiting game against the KIA Tigers held at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 10th.
SSG coach Lee Soong-yong said ahead of the 2024 KBO League LG Twins visit to be held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 8th, "Anderson has a (employment) visa and applied for player registration with the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) today." “I will participate in the KIA game,” he said. 안전놀이터 추천
He continued, “Although the first pitch schedule is a bit early, we decided that it would be better to first take the process of increasing the number of pitches through actual games,” and added, “He will be able to throw more than 80 pitches in June.”
In addition, he added, “We are considering Lee Ki-soon and Choi Min-jun as pitchers to pitch behind Anderson.”
On the 27th of last month, SSG released existing foreign pitcher Robert Dugger, who had been struggling, and recruited Anderson.
After arriving in Korea on the 3rd, Anderson improved his physical condition by throwing his first bullpen pitch on the 5th.
Anderson is not a traditional starting pitcher. This year, he appeared in 9 games as a bullpen in the minor league Triple A under the Detroit Tigers of American professional baseball. 슬롯사이트
Since he is not a starter, a build-up process is needed to throw many balls.
However, SSG hoped that Anderson would increase the number of pitches through actual games, and set the game against KIA on the 10th as his first pitching game.
With Anderson's addition, SSG's starting rotation was reorganized to include Kim Gwang-hyun, Roenis Elias, Song Young-jin, Anderson, and Oh Won-seok.
Existing starter Park Jong-hoon was moved down to the second team after performing poorly in the match against Hanwha Eagles on the 1st.
Coach Lee Soong-yong said, "We will continue to prepare Park Jong-hoon as a starting pitcher in the second team," and added, "We are also considering Lee Kun-wook as a starting pitcher. If the two players join, we are considering various methods, such as starting Song Young-jin every 10 days." said.
Meanwhile, coach Lee Soong-yong said about Choo Shin-soo, the most senior fielder who was diagnosed with a rotator cuff injury in his right shoulder, saying, "It seems like the injuries that have accumulated over the years have accumulated," and added, "He must have endured the pain and played in the game."
He continued, “I think I will need to undergo treatment for at least a month, but I plan to determine the time of return by observing the progress.” 메이저 토토사이트
