Doosan Bears ace Colerbin pitched the worst this season.

Colerbin started in the first game of the '2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League' against the NC Dinos at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 11th and collapsed with 65 pitches, three hits, seven strikeouts, and eight runs in two ⅓ innings. I had a hard time throughout the game with no zero points at all.

At the beginning of the game, Doosan seemed to take the lead. NC scored four points in the first inning alone as it self-destructed amid a parade of errors. With one out and runners on the first and second bases, Kim Jae-hwan wanted to step down with a ground ball to the second base, but second baseman Cave scored as second baseman Seo Ho-chul made a bad pitch over shortstop Kim Joo-won's head. With one out and runners on first and third bases, Yang Suk-hwan hit a timely double to left field to run 2-0. Then, when Oh Myung-jin hit a ground ball to shortstop with one out and runners on the second and third bases, third baseman Kim Jae-hwan was caught on a rundown, when shortstop Kim Joo-won made a bad pitch behind the home plate, scoring second baseman Yang Seok-hwan after Kim Jae-hwan to run to 4-0.




Colerbin deserved a four-point lead enough, but his control shook sharply in the top of the second inning. Davison was put on the verge of first and second bases with no outs by walking Davison and Park Gun-woo. After one out, he gave up a right-handed hit to Chun Jae-hwan and loaded the bases. When Kim Hwi-jip got on base with a ground ball to the first base, he forced out third baseman Davison at home to hold out the bases with two outs, but he began to be chased 4-1 by sending the next batter, pinch hitter Ahn Jung-yeol, on a walk. Han Seok-hyun then got a two-run timely double to left-center and narrowed it to 4-3 in an instant.

Colerbin quickly failed to break the flow of NC. In the continued crisis with two outs and runners on the second and third bases, pinch hitter Kim Han-byeol was sent out to load the bases, and Kwon Hee-dong hit a timely three-run double on the left-field line and turned it over 4-6.

Doosan also gave Colerbin the mound in the top of the third inning, but there was no sign of change. Choi Jung-won's sacrifice bunt, which sent the leadoff hitter Park Gun-woo to another dune, made it 1 out and 2nd base. Colerbin recently allowed another walk after failing to compete with hot hitter Chun Jae-hwan in NC. It's the 7th four pitches on this day. In the end, the bench couldn't hold back more and replaced the mound with Park Shin-ji.

Park Shin-ji failed to stop Colerbin's lead. With two outs and runners on the first and second bases, Ahn Jung-yeol hit a two-run timely double on the left field line. Colerbin's run went up to eight.

Colerbin was treated as an ace by signing a $1 million contract with Doosan this year. He was a player with a clear goal of trying to challenge the Major League again using his KBO League performance this year. Prior to the game, his season performance was eight games, five wins, two losses, 48 ⅔ innings, and a 2.77 ERA. It is certainly not a bad performance, but the number of walks per nine innings was 3.51, exceeding the league average (2.88). Control was always considered an unsettling factor, but he fully exposed the problem by recording the most four pitches in a single game. Colerbin left the mound early without completing five innings for the first time this season.

Doosan is concerned about the overload of the bullpen as well as the management of the starting rotation as the domestic ace Kwak Bin has been away for a long time due to injury. In addition, he had high expectations on the ace's shoulders as he had to play a double header on the day, and Colerbin was greatly disappointed with his worst pitch this season.




NC, which wanted to easily give up the first game of an important doubleheader with an error parade, rather gained momentum thanks to Colerbin's self-destruction.
