KIA foreign pitcher James Nail, who reserved the 'opening game selection', exposed his anxiety of shaking for a moment.

Nail started against the Doosan Bears in the 2025 KBO League exhibition game at Jamsil Stadium on the 14th. Nail stepped down with three runs in four innings.

After throwing a dizzying pitch in the direction of Doosan Yang Eui-ji's head, the control continued to shake and collapse.




Nail has already been confirmed to start the opening game on the 22nd. Nails are "It's a great honor. It's exciting. I'm going to put everything into the opening game."

The game against Doosan Bears was the final rehearsal.

Nail got off to a somewhat shaky start in the bottom of the first inning, hitting a double by leadoff hitter Jung Soo-bin and walking Kim Jae-hwan.




However, he broke the flow by drawing a double play to Yang Eui-ji. With two outs and a runner on third, Cave struck out.

He easily passed the second inning as well. Kang Seung-ho and Yang Seok-hwan were grounded out to second and third, respectively. Two outs later, Oh Myung-jin hit to the left. Kim In-tae grounded out again to third base to finish the inning.

The nails were deleted three times as well.




The fourth inning was the problem.

The 149km fastball thrown to Yang Eui-ji, the leadoff hitter, fell out of his hand. It flew towards Yang Eui-ji's head.

Yang Eui-ji avoided by tilting her upper body back with lightning-like reflexes. I had no choice but to fall in the process.

As it was an exhibition game, there was no threat. The nails looked surprised, too. He approached the batter's box in person, took off his hat and apologized.

Yang Eui-ji also made a body motion saying it was okay.

But the nail happened to be shaken from this moment.

He walked Yang Eui-ji. He allowed Cave a right-handed hit. Kang Seung-ho hit a sweeping triple to right-center with no outs and runners on first and second bases.

Yang Seok-hwan, the follow-up hitter, allowed a hit ball.

Oh Myung-jin hit another timely hit with no outs and runners on the first and third bases. The three-point lead was lost in an instant. It was tied at 3-3.

With no outs and runners on the first and second bases, Kim In-tae struck out and managed to break the flow of Doosan.

KIA did not bother to change its nails as if it judged that this was also a situation to go through during the season.

Nails soon regained their composure, too. Nail blocked Park Joon-young with a fly ball to center field and Jung Soo-bin with a ground ball to third base.
