He is in first place with a WAR of 1.40, ahead of SSG Landers strikeout machine Shaun Anderson (1.20). SSG Roenis Elias (1.03), Doosan Jordan Balazovic (0.95), and Samsung Won Tae-in (0.92) are following.
Furado has recorded a quality start (within three earned runs in six innings) in the last four consecutive games, except for the game against Doosan (four runs in six innings) on the 2nd, the first of the five games he started in August. Three of the four games are quality start+ (within three earned runs in seven innings).
He played his starting role every game. Nevertheless, he won only one game due to the lack of support for the lineup and bullpen. Since winning 10 games this season with eight scoreless innings and perfect pitching against SSG on the 8th, he has not added a win for the third game.
Kiwoom, which has a solid one-two punch by foreigners of Hurado Hayus, is planting the lowest image of fear in its fall baseball competitors with an all-time winning rate of 0.442.
