Yeom Kyung-yeop, manager of the LG Twins, also failed to give a definite answer. On the possibility of foreign pitcher Detrick N.S. succeeding next season, he said, "Fifty to fifty."스포츠토토

N.S. was a left-handed pitcher whom LG Electronics brought as a first starter to win the title for the second consecutive year. A powerful fastball of up to 152 kilometers per hour was attractive, and I liked the slider that was added to it. However, Yeom judged that he needs a falling crystal ball to survive on the Korean stage and ordered his team to improve his change-up performance even before the spring camp match.

And the lack of a clear ball throughout the season was regrettable. He played a good count fight because of his good pitching, but there was no clear ball to induce the opponent to swing and miss, so his ball count increased after two strikes. The problem was that the changeup was not perfect. It was not easy to win with fastballs and sliders. He played a lot of games with difficulty, and as a result, he often reached the limit by the fifth inning.

As he blocked while losing points, his earned run average (ERA) would have been high. He ranked 14th among 20 pitchers who finished the regular innings with 4.19. Although he is an N.C.E. who tied for second in multiple wins with 13 wins and tied for first among foreign pitchers, he did not have enough feeling to be called a foreign ace compared to James Nail (2.53) of the KIA Tigers, Kyle Hart (2.69) of the NC Dinos, and Charlie Barnes (3.35) of the Lotte Giants.

The quality start is also No. 13, which is significantly lower than Ariel Furado (23) of Kiwoom Heroes, Enmanuel de Heysus (20), KT William Cuevas (19), and Lotte Aaron Wilkerson (18).

In the postseason, he also expressed regret and hope. In the semi-playoff game against KT Wiz, he allowed five hits (one homer) and two walks, six strikeouts and three runs in five ⅓ innings in the first game, and in the fourth game, he allowed six hits (one homer) and two walks, three strikeouts and four runs in three ⅓ innings.

However, in Game 4 of the playoffs against the Samsung Lions, he pitched six innings of one hit, two walks and eight strikeouts.

Having 13 wins, spraying 152 km as a left-handed pitcher and communicating well with the coaching staff are factors that clearly make LG renew its contract. However, LG, which is eyeing to win next season's championship, has no choice but to seek a stronger starting pitcher that gives the team the belief that it can win even if it meets the opponent team's first starting pitcher.

"I was able to pitch well as the change-up improved at the end," manager Yeom said of N.S. "When I renewed my contract with such an ambiguous pitcher, my chances of success were 50-50." If you fill in the gaps, you will show better performance next season, but if you don't, you are likely to get hit because the opposing batters are already used to the pitcher.

He is certain to renew his contract with Major Hernandez, who clearly showed his charm by allowing 15 strikeouts and no runs in six games and 11 innings in the postseason. Yeom said positively, "As the curve got better, the timing fight with Korean hitters got better."

The importance of selecting foreign pitchers is too great in the 2025 season when we have to try again for the championship. For LG, the most realistic move would be to seek renewal of contract with N.C. and see if a better pitcher is available in the U.S. market.
