Is the adductor problem holding you back.

This is not what KT Wiz expected from Heyesus at all. Ace plays the role of continuing his winning streak and ending his losing streak. However, Heissus lost two games in the course of KT's six consecutive losses. What's going on with Heysus.

KT and Heyesus lost again. KT lost the Samsung Lions 3-5 at Pohang Stadium on the 13th. KT, which had been in a five-game losing streak, was able to dream of escaping back-to-back losses because it was a schedule to meet Samsung, which had been losing eight consecutive games.




On top of that, it was the day the ace Heyesus made a sortie. On the contrary, Samsung was a rotation in which Lee Seung-hyun came out first due to Won Tae-in's mild symptoms of gall. KT was able to take the lead in the selection fight.

But hope has gone up in smoke. Defeated. Lee lost five scoreless innings. During the losing streak, the helpless lineup did not explode on the same day. On top of that, Heyesus was also sluggish with four runs in five innings. Due to the aftermath of the error, he had two earned runs, but he had six hits and three outs, including a home run hit by Diaz.

He lost to the NC Dinos on the 6th for the second consecutive time. He struck out seven against Samsung, but he certainly wasn't the overwhelming ball of Heyesus we knew. Considering the poor flow of Samsung's batting lineup after a long losing streak, it was a game in which if you met another team, you could have lost more points.

KT recruited Heyesus, who became a sensation last year with 13 wins and 20 quality starts for the lowest-ranked Kiwoom Heroes. Kiwoom gave up its contract with Heyesus to strengthen its batting power, and after a recruitment match with other clubs, he embraced Heyesus. He even gave an ace roll on behalf of Cuevas, a long-time foreigner. Following the good pitching of one run in six innings in the opening game against the Hanwha Eagles on March 22, when his first win against the Lotte Giants on March 28 with seven scoreless innings came out "He brought it really well." was well received. Heyesus, who boasts his best ball power while adjusting to the KBO League, deserved to be called the ace.

But there was a latent time bomb. the left adductor muscle. It was also a part that broke down during the Kiwoom period. Kiwoom and KT knew to some extent that they were suffering from chronic diseases. I just didn't want the injury to recur.

But the adductor issue blew up too early. He was pulled out early after pitching three innings against the LG Twins on April 9. He went down to the second team. He returned to the Kiwoom Heroes on April 18, but had to go down to the second division after failing to fill five innings. The adductor muscle was not perfect.




He returned to the game against the Doosan Bears on April 30 and won the game by allowing three runs (two earned runs) in six innings. However, since then, he has lost two consecutive games. The ball doesn't work. Due to the nature of the pitcher's job, which requires strength to move the weight of the lower body, adductor pain inevitably has a significant impact on power pitching.

Of course, as mentioned above, Heyesus is playing his part to some extent, even though he is not 100% conditioned. It's because of the small number of innings, but I've never exceeded three earned runs this year. I'm going to stop you. It is safe to say that the loss has increased amid the poor batting lineup.

However, when the team is in trouble, the atmosphere changes only when the ace's overwhelming pitch comes out, and it is undeniable that Heyesus is currently in a situation where it is difficult to produce such a performance.
