"Pompoms are pretty and beautiful..." The same left hand is different... The reason why the flower director changed the order of Aldred and Yang Hyunjong is...

KIA Tigers manager Lee Bum-ho adjusted the starting rotation in the second half. It was natural that ace James Nail was the first starter. He chose Yang Hyun-jong rather than Cam Aldred as the second starter. The third starter was Aldred and later decided to rotate to Hwang Dong-ha Yoon Young-chul.
The rotation at the end of the first half was in the order of nail, Aldred, and Yang Hyun-jong. However, using the All-Star break, Yang Hyun-jong and Aldred changed the order. Both left-handed pitchers. There are cases where right-handed pitchers are put in between because left hands are followed by left hands, but if not, there seems to be no reason to change them.
KIA manager Lee Bum-ho cited the two different pitching forms.
Manager Lee said, `I thought it was better for Hyunjong to throw first and Aldred to throw first than for (Yang) Hyun-jong to throw the next day.' Manager Lee said "Aldred might be a little trickier because he throws it with a cross and makes some changes" Even if Hyun-jong likes the tip of his cheek better, the pitching form is pretty and beautiful, so I think the pitching coach paid attention to that."
Yang is a left-handed orthodox. The pitching form is a neat style. Aldred is a three-quarter type. He decided that it would be better to see Yang Hyun-jong's pitching form and see Aldred's pitching form than to see Yang Hyun-jong's neat pitching form.
Following the right-handed nail, five starters, including left-handed orthodox Yang Hyun-jong, left-handed three-quarter Aldred, right-handed Hwang Dong-ha and left-handed Yoon Young-chul, formed a rotation of different types.
KIA played against LG in the order of Yang Hyun-jong-Nail-Aldred in Gwangju from June 18th to 20th. At that time, Yang Hyun-jong recorded seven hits and three runs in five innings with more than his elbow, Nail allowed five hits (one home run) with one walk and six strikeouts in six ⅓ innings, and Aldred allowed two runs (non-earned) with two hits and two walks and six strikeouts in six innings. All three pitched well against LG.
I wonder what the results will be like in this three consecutive games.
