Park Se-woong-Na Gyun-an AG to leave Lotte…Sutton “1+1 strategy available”
The Lotte Giants are in the midst of preparing for the Hangzhou Asian Games, which is approaching in a month.
This is because Park Se-woong and 메이저사이트 Na Gyun-an, who are the ‘domestic one-two punch’, have risen side by side in the baseball team’s entry.
Park Se-woong has an average ERA of 3.48 with 5 wins and 7 losses in 21 matches, and Na Gyun-an has an average ERA of 3.65 with 6 wins and 5 losses in 18 matches, firmly supporting the Lotte mound.
It’s better than missing a large number of fielders who make their name on the lineup every day, but the departure of two starters is formidable.
Lotte is the only team out of 10 that only two starting pitchers, not bullpen pitchers, are missing.
Coach Larry Sutton met with reporters at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 23rd and said, “I will miss the vacancy of Park Se-woong and Na Kyun-an, but I am preparing in advance because I knew the situation.”
Coach Sutton said, “We plan to prepare options so that 3 to 4 players can play multiple innings.”
He explained, “For example, if there are many left-handed batters in the opposing team’s batting line, left-handed Shim Jae-min and side-arm Han Hyun-hee can be put forward.”
The strategy is to have Shim Jae-min deal with left-handed hitters as much as possible, and then put Han Hyun-hee in the batting order where right-handed hitters are placed to block them by working together for more than 5 innings.
Regarding Han Hyun-hee, who has been sluggish with 10 runs in 11 innings in 4 games this month, he said, “Recently (his skills) have declined a little, but if he improves his command and mentality, he is a player who can be of great help to our team.”
