"Why is such a pitcher in Korea..."

Even until the exhibition game, Doosan Bears foreign pitcher Colerbin made a "super awesome" sound. The dominant response was why they came to the KBO League.

In fact, question marks began to appear in the regular season. Colerbin was very powerful in spring camps and exhibition games where he pitched two innings and three innings short. As the number of pitches increased, including five innings and six innings, the shortcomings were exposed little by little.




To make matters worse, it also overlapped with problems outside of performance. On March 28, his second appearance of the season, he had a war of nerves with opposing hitter Park Byung-ho against Jamsil Samsung. In the match against NC in Jamsil on the 12th of last month, he caused a noise with 'shoulder bread'. He came down from the mound pushing his shoulder between coach Park Jung-bae and catcher Yang Eui-ji.

He was overwhelmed enough to overlook his sensitive personality, but he was not. Colervin went 5-5 with a 4.28 ERA in 67 ⅓ innings in 12 games. Both innings and ERA are 26th in the league. He is inferior to other teams' first starters in Korea, let alone ace. In the end, he was excluded from the first team on May 30.

Colerbin's stake is also significant as Doosan fell to ninth place as of the 10th. Colerbin came with a full guarantee of 1 million dollars (about 1.4 billion won). The team is also bound to falter as foreign pitchers, who are supposed to be active in the league's first-line issuance, cannot take the center stage.




Colerbin will start against the Hanwha Eagles in the KBO League in the 2025 season in Daejeon on the 10th. The key is whether Colerbin can regain his reputation.

Colerbin pitched in a game against Hanwha this year. He lost five runs (two earned) in six innings.

Doosan's team atmosphere has been chaotic recently. Coach Lee Seung-yeop voluntarily resigned on the 2nd. It is led by acting director Cho Sung-hwan. Acting President Cho Sung-hwan is trying to revitalize by using a large number of young fielders. At times like this, foreign ace must hold out firmly to provide a rebound engine for the team.




The starting pitcher for Hanwha is Ryan Weiss. Weiss has established himself as the league's strongest one-two punch with teammate Cody Ponce. Weiss is 7-2 with a 3.36 ERA in 13 games and 80 ⅓ innings. This year, the game against Doosan became a winning pitcher with two runs in seven ⅔ innings in one game.
