I joined the team during the season, but I have the stickiness of teamwork. Naturally, he is sincere in his training attitude and self-management, and he gets along well with his Korean teammates smoothly.
He approaches the young beasts first, takes time to buy them food, and talks. Recently, a more family atmosphere has been formed for foreign players than before, but not many players try to reach domestic players first. Regardless of his ability, the coaching staff also has a very high evaluation of Anderson outside of baseball.
However, if you go up to the mound, it becomes 'Fight Chicken'. A case in point is the fact that bench clearing between the two teams broke out in early July while playing a war of nerves against Kyle Hart against the Changwon NC Dinos. At the time, Anderson and Hart had reasons to hurt each other's feelings. However, as Anderson was caught on the broadcast screen briefly swearing in English after striking out the NC batter, abnormal atmosphere was also detected outside. Hart, who was standing on the bench and watching the game, was also seen yelling at Anderson with excitement, and later bench clearing occurred as the emotional battle between the two teams intensified.
In addition, Anderson could often be seen engaged in a strange war of nerves with opposing batters and runners during his usual pitching.
On top of that, another strange situation occurred against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 20th. The scene in question was LG's attack in the bottom of the fifth inning. With the score tied 2-2, Anderson allowed a walk to leadoff hitter Park Hae-min in the bottom of the fifth inning. a crisis of first base with no outs.

Song Chan-eui, who faced Anderson, hesitated for a moment and stepped back to avoid the tag, but Anderson strode forward and tagged Song Chan-eui out. And straight away, I looked at the second base situation for the next play.
The reason for the problem was that Anderson's tag was rather rough. Anderson strongly tagged Song Chan's chest as he stepped back. In that situation, Song Chan-eui also expressed his feelings with an unpleasant expression as if he was in a bad mood, and a strange atmosphere passed for a moment. Fortunately, the game went on without further development. Anderson finished the pitch with two runs in five innings, and LG won the game 4-3.
In fact, Anderson did not do much wrong when looking at the match against LG on the 20th. The situation was urgent, and in order to check Park Hae-min's situation, the batter had to be out as soon as possible. In the meantime, Song Chan-eui must have been impatient as he stepped back.

Anderson is known not only for his relationship with his teammates, but also for his great sense of belonging to 'our team'. In addition, it is also true that the temperament of the adventurer is particularly rough when he goes up to the mound.
However, it is also necessary to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings in advance. If a fierce match is focused on one ball and one ball, minor war of nerves with the opposing team's players will inevitably occur frequently. There are many scenes that are not known outside and can only be felt in the field. It is necessary to be competitive for your team and your teammates, but you don't have to have an emotional battle with your opponent.
