"I'm still weak in my skills."

Lotte Giants' Tucker Davidson started the game against the Samsung Lions at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 18th and recorded six hits, four outs, and nine strikeouts in five innings.

It was scoreless pitching, but the crisis continued from the beginning. In the bottom of the first inning, he ended the inning with a strikeout and a groundout after being driven to the first and second bases with one out, and a hit ball came out in the second inning. He allowed an additional base due to a defensive error, but he escaped the crisis by striking out.




He continued to get on base at the bottom of the third, fourth, and fifth innings, but it did not lead to a run.

After finishing the fifth inning, Davison pitched 97 pitches. I mixed fastball (41) with slider (23), sweeper (14), curve (10), and forkball (9). The maximum fastball speed was 151km.

While Davison was on the mound, the batters burst hot. He scored three and four runs in the fourth and fifth innings, respectively, and added a point in the sixth inning to make Davison a winning requirement. In the end, with an 8-1 victory, Davidson earned his second win of the season. Davison has two wins, no losses and a 2.00 ERA in five games this season.




He was a good starter, but Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung wanted to take it to the next level. Above all, he pointed out the part where the number of pitches was somewhat high.

Director Kim said, `I'm not good at it. The number should not increase. At least six innings should be blocked, and about 91 pitches should be allowed into the seventh inning"There should be a calculation that the middle pitcher should block three innings later, but not yet. I don't think he gave me any points because he had good speed and was capable of striking out" he pointed out.

On the other hand, he smiled satisfactorily at the team's batting average of 356 during its four-game winning streak. Manager Kim said "The fact that each batter has a hit means that he has a good batting sense. Once the score runs away or runs away, the pitcher is mentally comfortable. It's not easy for a pitcher if it's only a close game."




Meanwhile, Lotte formed the starting lineup in the order of Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Ko Seung-min (second baseman), Jeon Joon-woo (left fielder), Victor Reyes (right fielder), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Jung Hoon (designated hitter), Jeon Min-jae (striker), Kim Min-sung (third baseman), and Information Geun (catcher).
