I think we can look forward to it in the future. He made a strong impression on his first appearance.

Samsung Lions' new foreign pitcher Kherson Garavito pitched five scoreless innings with just 62 balls.

Garabito started the home game against the Hanwha Eagles at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 26th and pitched one hit, four strikeouts, and four strikeouts in five innings. It even has the requirements for a winning pitcher with a 1-0 lead.




Garavito is a substitute for Denny Reyes. He is a right-hander of a starting type with an average speed of 151.4km and various pitches such as pitch depth, curve, change-up, and slider. As the actual appearance in the Futures League was canceled due to rain, it was difficult to make a normal start of up to 100 as he only pitched live and made his first-team debut immediately.

Samsung manager Park Jin-man said, `There is nothing that concerns me about taking the mound in the first team only with live pitching without taking the mound in practice. Since I've been a player, I think if I keep my routine well, I'll be able to do my part"But "I don't mean to overdo it because it's my first appearance. There was nothing set because there were not many pitches during live pitching, but I won't overdo it depending on my condition."

Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon also said, `I don't think I'll exceed 80"But "It won't be easy to hit because it's the first time I've seen a pitcher's ball. If the new pitcher throws well, he will be able to go up to the fifth inning."




In the top of the first inning, Hanwha hitters struggled with the persistent game. In particular, No. 1 faced resistance from Lee Jin-young.

Garabito played with a confident fastball in the beginning, and Lee Jin-young dealt with it well. He threw 5 consecutive fastballs and threw a curveball for the first time in the 6th pitch when the 2B2S did not play. He threw a fastball of 152km in the seventh pitch in the full count, but when he was fouled, he threw two sliders in a row this time, but it was a foul that slightly hit the bat. I threw it back to the fastball, but it was a foul again. A swing and miss came out on a high fastball of 154km on the 12th pitch. the first strikeout.

No. 2 Liberato also watched three balls in a row in 2S and dragged him to the full count. Foul on a fastball of 152km in the sixth pitch. He struck out swinging on a 131km curve in the seventh pitch. No. 3 Moon Hyun-bin also played a fly to left field with his fifth slider after two consecutive fouls in 2S. It ended with a three-way exit, but the number of pitches was as many as 24.




I thought it would not be easy for a long inning at this rate, but I easily washed out Hanwha hitters as I felt relaxed from the second inning. He threw a 149km pitch to No. 4 Noh Si-hwan and received a heavy hit, but he caught No. 5 Kim Tae-yeon with a double play in front of the pitcher and handled An Chi-hong with a fly to center field in three pitches. This time, he finished with eight balls.

In the top of the third inning, he struck out No. 7 Ha Joo-seok with a change-up, grounded out in front of shortstop with a slider against No. 8 Choi Jae-hoon, and dealt with No. 9 Lee Do-yoon with a curve ball in front of the first base, meeting all nine batters of Hanwha.

In the top of the fourth inning, Lee Jin-young struck out with a slider, Liberato hit a ground ball in front of the pitcher with a changeup, and Moon Hyun-bin hit a bunt tag out in front of the first baseman with a slider. In particular, none of the eight fastballs were found in the fourth inning. In the top of the fifth inning, Noh Si-hwan ended with a fly to center field, Kim Tae-yeon a fly to shortstop, and An Chi-hong a ground ball in front of second base, but only one fastball out of nine. This means that not only fastballs but also breaking balls are good.

That's all for Garabito's debut. Kang Min-ho's solo shot led 1-0 and was replaced by Kim Jae-yoon in the top of the sixth inning with the winning pitcher requirements.

Of the 62 throws on the day, he sprayed 11 fastballs with a maximum of 155km and 17 with a 155km pitch, and added 15 sliders, 11 changeups, 7 sweepers, and 1 curve to catch Hanwha batters with certainty.
