Kiwoom Heroes' Enmanuel de Heysus became the only 10-win pitcher in the first half. In addition, his ERA and strikeouts are also close to the top, approaching the Triple Crown. James Nail of the same team has been selected as the opponent of the KIA Tigers, who are performing MVP-level, but now it seems right to change the target to Heyesus.
In his last appearance in the first half against the LG Twins at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 3rd, Heysus led his team to a 4-1 victory by allowing four hits, two walks and eight strikeouts in six innings. Finishing the first half with multiple wins. LG Ens, Lotte Wilkerson, and Kiwoom Furado (eight wins or more), who are tied for second place with multiple wins, have increased to two wins. The ERA was lowered to 3.14, ranking third after Nail (2.66) and NC Kyle Hart (2.94), and the strikeouts were 102 to rank third after Hart (104) and Nail (103).
Many wins are definitely No. 1, and ERA and strikeouts are within range, making it possible to aim for the Triple Crown in the second half of the year. Both Nail and Hart have seven wins each, three wins apart from Heyesus.
If Heysus wins the Triple Crown, he can compete with Kim Do-young for MVP.
Heissus said, `I'm happy to contribute to the team's win and I'll try to keep this good flow goingLet's say that not only the multiple wins, but also the ERA and strikeouts are approaching the title. "I'm not paying much attention to the title. The things we've been preparing for in the offseason are coming out well, so we'll keep it going."
Having experienced ABS in the U.S. minor league was able to adapt well to ABS by coming to the KBO League. Heissus says the ABS in the U.S. and South Korea seem to be similar"Some people think it's a strike when they think it's a ball, but others think it's a strike." But playing games in a fair environment is the same"It was meaningful to use the same strike zone.
He also showed an iron wall against LG. In the previous two games, he won two games and allowed only one run in 13 innings, which was also a mistake. If his performance is added up to this day, he has three wins and no losses and 20 strikeouts in 19 innings, with zero ERA. He has become a clear Grim Reaper for LG.
But Heyesus did not say that there was a particular secret. Since LG is a strong team, I tried to pitch as much as I could in the strike zonegave a simple answer of ".
When Heyesus asked the toughest hitter he has ever met, an unexpected person came out. It's Lee Jiyoung of SSG. He is an ordinary hitter with a batting average of only 275, two homers and 24 RBIs this season, but Heysus says "Please kill me" when he meets Lee Ji-young. Lee Ji-young went 2 for 3 with Heyesus.
Heissus said "Strangely, even if you throw a fastball, the timing is right, and even if you throw a breaking ball, the timing is right. I think I know how to approach how to hit my ball. It's hard because I got a hit even though I threw well," he said with a smile.
