Lose-lose-ERA 9.00… A foreigner who is colorless in evaluating the position type, is it really a mental problem?
- by admin
KIA Tigers foreign pitcher Adonis Medina bowed his head again. 토토사이트Medina, who started against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 20th, became the losing pitcher with 5 hits (2 homers), 3 walks, 2 strikeouts and 5 runs in 4 innings. On the 9th, against the Gwangju Doosan Bears (6 innings, 4 hits, 1 home run, 4 walks, 1 walk, 3 runs) and against the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes on the 14th (5 innings, 12 hits, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts, 7 runs). In no time, the average ERA rose to 9.00.
Every game has problems. In the first appearance when he recorded a quality start (6 or more starting innings, 3 earned runs or less), his inning digestibility received a passing score, but the part where he gave 5 on 4 pitches was mentioned as a homework to be solved in the future. However, he was hit hard in the match against Kiwoom, and the problem of control is hardly resolved in the match against Lotte.
Medina, who signed a contract with KIA for a total of $660,000, was mentioned as a pitcher. The highest speed of his fastball was ranked in the mid-150km range, followed by evaluations that he was equipped with a powerful two-seam. As he went through spring camp practice games and exhibition games, he was evaluated as being more difficult to deal with than another KIA foreign pitcher, Sean Anderson. While Anderson is showing a little bit of endurance with 1 win and 2 losses in 4 games and an average ERA of 3.12, Medina has a clear tendency to struggle in every game.
KIA coach Kim Jong-guk pointed out about Medina’s pitching against Kiwoom, “There must have been a part that was shaken mentally while being beaten by the opponent.” At the same time, he also presented the prospect that “if you take your pitches more elaborately based on your confident pitches, you will be able to rebound.” However, unlike this wind, Medina’s title is rarely caught. It is also revealed that he is unable to overcome the opponent’s bats to the extent that the evaluation of him as a ‘pitch type pitcher’ is colorless.
It may be seen that Medina is not fully showing its skills in terms of environment, such as a match against a hitter in the KBO League, which it encountered for the first time this year, and a season in an unfamiliar environment. However, the result is also the result, but if there is no improvement in the content, the eyes toward Medina will inevitably be full of worries. It is Medina that needs to find a rebound point as soon as possible, not only for the team situation where the sluggish flow continues, but also for itself.
