Killer is hard, but 'The Grim Reaper' comes out of the rival team?

The LG Twins have struggled in recent years with 'Killer Nightmare'. He struggled to death when he met a certain left-handed pitcher. The most representative player was Benjamin, who played for KT Wiz.

Benjamin recorded four wins and a 0.84 ERA in five games against LG in the 2023 season. In the 2024 season, it was not as good as in the 2023 season, but it maintained a one-point ERA.

Benjamin faltered a little, and a new killer appeared. Heysus of Kiwoom Heroes. Heyesus met LG three times last season and overwhelmed it with three wins and a 0.00 ERA. Benjamin left KT after last season. I wondered if LG took a breather, but Heyesus wore a KT uniform to fill the vacancy. LG is still struggling with KT.

There is something in common between the two pitchers. Left-hander, not a complete orthodox. It's not three quarters, but it feels like throwing it to the side. LG is a team with a lot of left-handed hitters. Except for Austin and Park Dong-won, Hong Chang-ki, Shin Min-jae, Moon Bo-kyung, Oh Ji-hwan, Kim Hyun-soo, Park Hae-min and Moon Sung-joo are all left-handed hitters. Everyone knows that left-handed hitters are difficult to hit left-handed pitchers, but Benjamin and Heyesus are more demanding because they feel like the ball is flying from the back. On top of that, the ball flowing outside the left-handed batter is good. It is not a coincidence that LG is weak against the two.

The problem is that a left-handed pitcher who is not similar to the two and can be stronger has landed in the KBO League. He will also make his debut as a member of the Doosan Bears, LG's most concerned 'Jamsil rival'.

The main character is Jack Rogue. Doosan brought in active Major League left-handers Colervin and Rogue this time to start a new team of starters.

Irvin is enormous in terms of his name, but Doosan insiders are evaluating that the log will also be tough. Rogue is also a slightly side-throwing pitcher like Barnes, who currently plays for Lotte Giants, and Reilly, a former Lotte player. The difference is clear when comparing the pitching scene with the orthodox Irvin.

On top of that, the control of selling every corner of the zone is very good and even a sweeper is equipped with 'wild weapon'. This means that if it comes and falls toward the left-handed batter's body, the scene where LG was struggling can be repeated. However, it does not mean that the ball power will fall. He can consistently throw fastballs in the mid to late 140 kilometers. He has consistently played as a starter in major and minor leagues, so there is no need to worry about his physical strength in the game.

Veteran catcher Yang Eui-ji, who has been through all his career, also received Rogue's ball himself and said, `The left-right movement of the ball is very good. I think it's easy to induce a ground ball.'"It's hard to say for sure for right-handed hitters, but it's going to be hard for left-handed hitters. I don't know that I'm a right-handed hitter, but left-handed hitters against Barnes say the ball is scary. Logs will also be able to produce such an effect."
