Nails in KIA uniform this year. Expectations were high due to his brilliant career as a player on the 40-man roster of St. Louis Cardinals before he was recruited, but there were also concerns. However, he is having a successful KBO League debut season with 12 wins and 5 losses and an ERA of 2.53 this season. Outside the ground, he left a deep impression by showing outstanding affinity and character by taking the lead in supporting his teammates and shouting fighting. KIA seems to be all united for such nails.
