A monster foreign pitcher who throws up to 159km fastballs, the ace who emerged as Lotte's hope in the first half of the year.

On the mound, he was cooler than he looked. Rather than being excited or celebrating, he silently did his job.

However, he was extremely warm in front of the fans. Gamboa played bullpen pitching at Suwon KT Wiz Park ahead of the starting lineup on the 14th. The unique pitching form, which was thrown with all of its body as if carefully, was still there.




Fans eagerly looking at themselves with a net attached to Gamboa's eyes as she turned after pitching.

A fan signing event was suddenly held in front of the entrance to the away dugout. Gamboa signed autographs and handed them to her fans with a smile. He greeted each and every 10 fans gathered around him.

Suwon was hit by more than 30 degrees Celsius in the afternoon. Humidity also went back and forth by 30 percent. Gamboa's clothes, which wore ballpoint-pitching in the scorching sun, must have been covered with sweat. Nevertheless, he decided to repay the enthusiasm of Lotte's away fans who visited the site.




Gamboa, who soon entered the dugout, cooled down by talking to the interpreter for a while. Then, as soon as I was about to enter the locker room, there was a voice calling Gamboa from the other side of the dugout (the back of the catcher). It was a boy dressed up in a Lotte uniform.

Gamboa immediately turned around. Lotte fans also gathered there, and Gamboa had a short meeting with the fans again. It was as much a fan-love move as KT's Kim Sang-soo, famous for his 'chain-signing Ma'.

When I asked 'Can I take a picture?'Of course!a willing answer of " Then, he opened the wire mesh door for a while and let the boy fan inside. Gamboa took a picture together with a big smile.




When she heard that she was good at fan service, Gam Bo-ah smiled silently and headed to the locker room. On the soaked back, there was a young appreciation and affection for Lotte fans.

Gamboa is showing off her presence as Lotte's ace, contrary to what was initially feared. Not a very outgoing or fiery personality. He is unexpectedly calm, but he is not the sensitive type. He has a hot heart.

In the match against the Samsung Lions on May 27, when he took the mound for the first time, a weakness was unexpectedly found in the 'Folder Personnel' routine. He suffered the humiliation of being robbed three times, including Home Steel.

However, since then, the shortcomings have been completely corrected, and only the advantages are revealed. The maximum speed on the Korean stage is 155km. It is a left-hander and a unique pitching form that seems to fall from 2 meters high adds power to the ball. Change-ups do not meet expectations, but the combination of high-speed sliders and curves in the mid-140km is good. His ball power and control are better than expected.

He pitched seven scoreless innings against Kiwoom on June 3, his second appearance, and won his second consecutive game against Doosan on the 8th by pitching two runs in six ⅔ innings. Now that even Park Se-woong has been removed from the first team, Gambo has emerged as a desperate hope for Lotte's mound.
