Kiwoom Heroes starter Enmanuel de Heysus also showed off the power of the "LG killer" in this appearance.
Heysus started the season's 10th showdown with the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League LG at Gocheok Sky Dome on Thursday, and pitched well with four hits, two outs and eight strikeouts in six innings. Along with his team's six consecutive wins, Heysus has become the first pitcher to win 10 games in the KBO League this season.
It started off a bit shaky. Shin Min-jae's walk and Kim Hyun-soo's hit caused a crisis on the first and third bases since the top of the first inning with one out. However, he struck out Austin and grounded out Park Dong-won to the third base, ending the inning without allowing a run.
After allowing two outs in the third inning, Haysus allowed Shin Min-jae to hit. However, he blocked Kim with a fly ball to the left field.
In the fourth inning, he got a double from Austin, the leadoff hitter, and gave up his scoring position. However, he blocked both Park Dong-won (three strikeouts), Moon Bo-kyung (flying ball) and Kim Sung-jin (three strikeouts), and did not allow any runs.
He stirred up a crisis with runners on second and one out in the fifth inning. However, he managed to strike out both Hong Chang-ki and Shin Min-jae by swinging.
In the sixth inning, leadoff hitter Kim Hyun-soo had a hit to the middle. However, he struck out Austin and caught Park Dong-won with a double play. Later, Kiwoom replaced him with Joo Seung-woo in the seventh inning, and Heyesus fulfilled his duties as a starter.
After the game, Heyesus said in a broadcast interview, "Actually, I wasn't in a very good condition today, but fortunately, the result came out well, so I feel good."
Including this game, Heysus displayed extreme power against LG by garnering three wins, zero earned run average (ERA) in three games. In addition, he displayed QS pitching in all three games. On the secret to his team's strength in the game, Heisus said, "There is no secret. I just focused on pitching when my team wins."
With this victory, Heyesus became the first pitcher to win 10 games in the 2024 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League. He replied, "I think I helped my team members win. Thanks to everyone's hard work, I was able to get the title of a 10-win pitcher."
With this performance, Heyesus finished his first half of the season. In the first half, Heyesus recorded 10 wins and 4 losses with an ERA of 3.14 in 17 games. "I think there will be no major revisions as I am doing well in my preparation so far. I will focus on being as aggressive as possible against batters as possible," he said.
Lastly, he promised Kiwoom fans, "I think the most lovely thing in Korea is Kiwoom fans. I will rest well during the All-Star break and show good performance in the second half." 안전놀이터
