Doosan starting pitcher Brandon challenges for 4 consecutive wins
Doosan Bears coach Lee Seung-yeop expressed his desire to continue his winning streak by defeating Hanwha Eagles ace Ryu Hyun-jin.
Doosan will face the Hanwha Eagles at Jamsil Stadium at 6:30 pm on the 11th.
Doosan, with 7 wins and 9 losses this year, is in 7th place.
Doosan, which won against Hanwha on the 9th and 10th, has changed its mood and is aiming for a sweep with foreign starter Brandon Waddell on this day. Brandon is attempting to become a winning pitcher in four consecutive games this year.
On this day, Doosan hitters face Ryu Hyun-jin, who returned from Major League Baseball (MLB), for the first time.
However, Coach Lee showed confidence that he would defeat Ryu Hyun-jin and continue his winning streak.
Veteran hitters including Heo Gyeong-min, Kang Seung-ho, Su-bin Jeong, Jae-hwan Kim, and Eui-ji Yang are leading the Doosan batting lineup. Coach Lee said, “The hitting coach and players must have analyzed Ryu Hyun-jin well. Ryu Hyun-jin has no wins yet, but he is a very good pitcher. He is good at controlling the strength and weakness of his pitching and is expected to make smart pitching. “We also prepared in our own way,” he said. He continued, “Ryu Hyun-jin throws a good changeup and has a good curve. I think he is one of the best left-handed pitchers in Korea. However, since Doosan is in the lower tier, they must win. He is attempting his first three-game winning streak this year. “We will have a good game since Brandon is out,” he explained. Meanwhile, No. 1 hitter Jeong Soo-bin was left out of the starting lineup due to an elbow injury. Regarding Su-bin Jeong’s injury, Coach Lee said, “Yesterday, while playing defense, he suffered a bruise on his elbow, so he was excluded from the lineup. There is a high possibility that today's game will not be played. He said, “It’s possible to be a pinch runner late in the game, but pinch hitting will be difficult.” 스포츠토토
