Right hand Gamboa?

There is a lot of interest in the Samsung Lions' new foreign player, Kherson Garavito.

Samsung ended its contract with Reyes, who had a recurrence of a fractured foot in the foot. The team that made it to the Korean Series last year. For Samsung, which is trying again to advance to the Korean Series beyond baseball this fall, it was necessary to quickly transfuse foreign players.




It was not a short-term replacement. I found a high-quality player who can even play the role of an ace. Lotte Giants Gamboa is a good example. Lotte brought left-hander Gamboa as a replacement for the sluggish Barnes, and is cheering as Gamboa won three consecutive individuals until the SSG Landers match on the 14th. I believe that Gamboa will be a contractor for fall baseball.

Garabito is as good as Gamboa in terms of career. First, he's on the Texas Rangers 40-man roster. This alone explains the value of this player. Samsung even paid a transfer fee to bring in Garabito. Texas announced the release of Garabito on the 15th. Last step for Samsung transfer.

Coincidentally, it is very similar to Gamboa. The left and right are different, but the fact that they are fireballers is the same. Garabito also sprays speeds of up to 97 miles and about 156 kilometers. However, it is interpreted as the reason why a player with such a good ball has not settled in the Major League. Therefore, he first stepped on the U.S. soil in 2012 and made his big league debut last year. Gamboa was also evaluated as having a very weak control compared to Guwi. Of course, in the KBO League, it is showing its power by showing the ability to put a ball in the ABS zone.




Then, what would Garabito look like in actual pitching. Garabito is known as a pitcher who throws sliders, curves, and changeups on powerful fastballs. If you look at the video of Garabito pitching in a Texas uniform since last year, he has a very soft pitching form. His pitching form is not big, but he has a strong fastball from his soft form.

What's more impressive than the fastball is the breaking ball. First of all, the angle of the curve was great. Big league hitters were also seen helplessly on the curve of the same trajectory as Slove, which is in the early 80-mile range but flows horizontally rather than falling into the bell.

The circle change-up is also excellent. It was a trajectory that flowed outside the left-handed batter. Batters who have to face a change-up that is falling in and out of that trajectory after watching a fastball over 150km are going to die.




The most important thing is age. I'm 30 years old now. After twists and turns last year, I tasted the sweet taste of the big league for the first time. He is a player who has a clear goal of returning to the Major League after receiving a clear selection class in Korea. The motivation is strong. It's something scarier than ball power.
