'Forget yesterday's defense mistake...' Hanwha Eagles foreign hitter Liberato trained with a bright expression.
The match between Samsung and Hanwha will take place at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 26th. On the 25th of the previous day, Hanwha's new foreign hitter Liberato had no hits in four at-bats. Luis Liberato is a temporary foreign hitter who signed a six-week contract with the Hanwha Eagles. Liberato started as center fielder for No. 2 hitter against Kiwoom in Daejeon on the 22nd and played an active role with 3 hits (one double) in 5 at-bats, but in the second game, he showed weakness in breaking balls and was hitless in 4 at-bats.
In the bottom of the first inning, a decisive defensive error was also made. Liberato, who started in center field, fumbled his ball in the first inning while catching Koo Ja-wook's ball. In the meantime, first baseman Kim Ji-chan rushed home after turning second and third bases. Kim Ji-chan even scored while Liberato, who dropped the ball, threw the ball to second base.

Koo Ja-wook also ran to second base in the meantime and was safe. Riverato's error gave Weiss the first run at a time when he didn't have to give up a run. He then allowed Diaz, the fourth batter, to hit an RBI timely hit, allowing two runs in the first inning alone.
Weiss also gave up two runs in the second inning. In the third inning, he allowed a solo home run to Park Byung-ho and had no choice but to finish the pitch early by allowing five runs (three earned runs) in three innings.
Hanwha eventually lost to Samsung 7-2. The first episode was a shame. Without Liberato's error, he could not have given up a run from the first inning.
On the 26th, Hanwha coach Jung Hyun-seok gave Liberato a one-on-one point lesson. He gave me a lot of advice by tossing the ball. Liberato also trained with a bright expression.

Liberato tasted heaven and hell just two games after his KBO League debut. I'm still adjusting to the new league.
