"The ball is good. All that's left is to adjust to Korean baseball."

Bizarre pitching routine, the victim of the ninth triple steal in the 44-year history of professional baseball.

The debut ceremony of the professional baseball team was held strongly. Still, the coach's evaluation is not bad.




Lotte Giants manager Kim Tae-hyung, who met at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 30th, praised new foreign pitcher Alec Gamboa, saying, `The ball itself is good.'

Gamboa started against the Daegu Samsung Lions on the 27th. But was it a problem that he made his debut with the team he met at Futures.

Samsung has been analyzing Gamboa's pitching routine. As soon as he lowered his head forward, he created a rare scene called a triple steal. Samsung Lions manager Park Jin-man and Kang Min-ho were also seen talking with each other, saying, `The moment you bow your head, you don't look at third base.'

The result was five hits, one walk and four runs in four ⅔ innings. The triple steal scene was disastrous, but the fastball ball itself received a passing score of 'as expected'. He struck out eight against Samsung's hard line.

According to the rotation, Gamboa's turn to start on June 1st. However, head coach Kim Tae-hyung explained that he is scheduled to play against Kiwoom on June 3rd.

It is not because of the problem of adjusting the pitching routine in question. The head coach explained, `I can go out normally because I threw 90 pitches, but I want the player to take more time and get the hang of Korean baseball.' The decision is also taken into account the fact that the rotation has been relaxed due to the cancellation of rain.

Manager Kim Tae-hyung said, `Even in the U.S., minor leagues often play baseball with themes rather than stealing bases. I don't think I've ever been in that situation"It's all that remains to be matched in Korean baseball."
