I can't do it even though I know it. Kang Sang-sun is helpless against the slobs. KIA's new special foreigner, how did you feel about your debut win? It was cold, but why?

KIA Tigers' new foreign pitcher Oler won his KBO League debut. KIA teammates celebrated their new family's first win with a 'strong' water ceremony.
Oler started the game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 26th. Ahead of this season, he signed a $1 million contract with KIA and made his first regular season debut.
I had a lot of expectations. With a fastball well over 150 km, he freely used 'slub', referred to as the Magu. The angle of bending is so large that most of the players flinch when the ball starts toward the batter's body. But it's crazy when the ball comes into the strike zone.
It was difficult to start the game against Kiwoom. Good Kiwoom hitters actively attacked Oler and scored three points first. Shortstop Park Chan-ho's mistake made him unable to help Oler, who was struggling to make an unfamiliar stage debut.

How did Olleh feel about his debut. Oler was a little shaken in the first inning, but he was able to pitch well, adapting to the mound from the second inning, and was satisfied with both fastballs and breaking balls. In addition, with the help of all hitters, including Na Sung-bum, he was able to take the mound without shaking until the sixth inning. In particular, he worked well with Kim Tae-gun, and as it was his first game, he relied a lot on Kim Tae-gun. In his next appearance, he said, "I will remember the good pitching today and plan to continue."
After interviewing fans who visited the stadium after the game, KIA pitchers' teammates poured a lot of water on Oler. He looked happy as if he didn't hate getting up. "I'm honored to be a winning pitcher in my KBO debut game, and I want to show my fans a better performance in the future. It was so amazing that the players celebrated by spraying water, and even though it was cold, I was happy to have a good experience in the first game."
