Foreigner Park Jung-jin's pitching form that looks like he's going to fall while throwing, and if he can control the 160km fastball

Lotte Giants' new foreign pitcher Gamboa is a hot topic. Lotte Uniforms on behalf of Barnes, a 'long-lived foreigner'. The team's performance is so good that there is a great interest in Lotte baseball, and a player who can be the last puzzle piece of the championship challenge beyond fall baseball has come, so it cannot help but be an issue. Park Se-woong's pace is so good, and Davison is also pitching well, so if Gamboa bursts, Lotte's chances of a top-tier fight could be very high.
First of all, the signs don't look bad. Left-hander, famous for throwing fast balls. And when he actually entered Korea, he threw a fastball of well over 150 kilometers from bullpen pitching without properly adjusting to the time difference. Lotte fans cannot help but be excited because the player himself said he would challenge the 160km.
There are many videos of throwing balls in the U.S. You can tell at once that the ball is really good. Fastballs are fast and various breaking balls such as sliders, curves, and changeups are thrown.

If you look for a more similar example, you can think of Park Jung-jin, a left-hander who played for the now-retired Hanwha Eagles. Park Jung-jin was also the type of throwing fastballs with all his body in a slightly bent position.

In the end, the key is control. No matter how many players are good at baseball, there is a reason why a pitcher who sprays a ball close to 160km to the left-hander only moves around in the minor leagues. It can be inferred that there was a problem with the control. In fact, there were many such evaluations. The foam itself is not a form that can be precisely controlled.

Will Gamboa bring hope to Lotte as a left-hander of 'Unheated', or will he be remembered as a foreign player who only plays fast. I'm already so curious about the ending.
