He is already foreshadowing his fastballs with speeds of up to 154 kilometers per hour. Will the "left-hander of fear" that appeared at Lotte really lead the KBO League? Beside him is a strong "tweezers instructor."
Lotte parted ways with foreign pitcher Aaron Wilkerson after the last season, and hired left-hander Tucker Davidson as its new foreign pitcher. At an exhibition game against KIA held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on Saturday, Davidson took the mound as a relief pitcher and showed off his good condition by leaving two perfect innings. The maximum speed of his pitches was 151 kilometers.
After the game, Davidson said, "I liked both the ball and the speed. I'm still thinking of it as spring camp. I will try to maintain my physical condition by boosting my physical condition little by little." "My goal is to raise the speed to 153-154 kilometers. I will do my best."
Will Lotte be able to achieve a dreadful one-two punch this year? Lotte has Charlie Barnes, the ace who has achieved 32 wins over the past three years. Starting with 12 wins and 12 losses and an earned run average of 3.62 in 31 games in 2022, Barnes added stability by recording 11 wins and 10 losses and an earned run average of 3.28 in 30 games in 2023. Last year's performance was 9 wins and 6 losses with an earned run average of 3.35. Above all, the number of strikeouts in 25 games has increased exponentially, and he is emerging as one of the leading candidates who can seek the strikeout title this year. Last season, Barnes had 171 strikeouts and ranked third in the league.
Barnes also proved his outstanding form at an exhibition game. Barnes appeared as a starting pitcher at an exhibition game against KIA at Sajik Stadium on Sunday last week, and allowed three hits and no runs in four innings to block the opponent team. Barnes had a whopping seven strikeouts. "If you strike out a batter, you can't go as a runner. That's the direction pitchers want the most. I think it went the way I wanted it to go," Barnes said after the game.
Barnes has already experienced the KBO League for three long years. It is expected that Davidson, who joined Lotte as a new member of Lotte, will greatly help him adapt to unfamiliar environments.
"First of all, I've basically explained something simple, and I'm talking about it in various ways because they're both left-handed pitchers," Barnes said, "I think practical advice will be possible only when we go into the regular season. For example, "When you're dealing with a certain batter, you have to throw calmly" and "You have to throw aggressively to some batters," signaling that he will give "tweep tutoring" soon. 온라인카지노
Davison, who has already shown outstanding pitching, is expected to quickly conquer the KBO league if he adds the "details" that Barnes has told him. "Davidson is a very talented player. I will watch him throw in person and then tell him what I can tell him," Barnes said.
Then, what kind of performance will he show this year? "It would be a great honor if he wins the strikeout title," Barnes said. "The first thing I need to do is pay attention to how well I can throw in the next game, rather than thinking about that part." In Barnes' words, I can feel the responsibility of "Ace."
