SSG’s new foreigner Anderson, visa issued… Starting pitch against KIA on the 10th
“We will take the process of increasing the number of pitches through actual games.”
Professional baseball SSG Landers’ new foreign pitcher Drew Anderson (30)’s first appearance 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.” 카지노사이트
“I will participate in the KIA game,” he said.
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 explained, “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 entering the game on the 3rd, Anderson brought his fitness up by pitching his first bullpen game on the 5th.
Anderson is not a traditional starting pitcher.
This year, he appeared in 9 games as a bullpen player in Triple A, a minor league affiliated with the Detroit Tigers of American professional baseball.
As he has not started, 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 match against KIA on the 10th as his first pitching game.
With Drew Anderson’s addition, SSG’s starting rotation was reorganized to include Kim Gwang-hyun, Roenis Elias, Song Young-jin, Anderson, and Oh Won-seok.
