July of Promise to Samsung has begun. On the first day of July, he promised to rebound after losing four consecutive games against Doosan in Jamsil.
It is too early to talk about hope. The batting lineup is still stagnant, and native ace Won Tae-in was canceled ahead of the match against Doosan on the 2nd due to right back pain. I finished the first half early. Samsung manager Park Jin-man explained before the game that he made the adjustment because he couldn't let the player throw even though he was having a hard time just because his back was a little bad. The frustrating part comes out in a difficult situation.
However, I saw a new hope against Doosan on the 2nd.

Before the game, coach Park expressed his expectation, saying, `I think he's doing a good job of analyzing the opponent by writing notes on his laptop during yesterday's game thrown by Hurado.' As for the heat wave that came early, he said, "Because it is humid and hot in my country (Dominica Republic), my South American friends asked me if I felt a burden, and I was not worried that it was much cooler."
It exceeded the expectations of the head coach.
Garabito, who took the mound for the second time in the KBO stage, pitched 87 pitches in five innings, allowing three hits, two walks, seven strikeouts, and one run. He pitched well in two consecutive games following five innings of one hit, no four outs, and no strikeouts against Hanwha, which made its debut on the 26th of last month. He had a 0.90 ERA with one run in 10 innings. He cut it at the 80th pitch in consideration of his condition, such as jet lag, but if he pitches full-time, he can start quality every game.
Due to the failure to support the batters, Garabito handed over the mound to the bullpen in the bottom of the sixth inning, trailing 0-1.

In the soft pitching form, various pitches such as 154km four-seam, 153km two-seam, 140km drop high-speed slider, slow curve, change-up, and sweeper were widely settled around the S-zone. It is an eight-colored tone that batters have no choice but to have difficulty responding to the pitch type that penetrates toward the body, the pitch type that flows outside, the high-fast ball, and the high and low that falls quickly and slowly.
In the second inning, he lost his composure for a moment and allowed consecutive walks when the curve of the mind thrown at the full count to leadoff hitter Kim Jae-hwan was unfortunately judged to be a ball by ABS. However, it was also impressive to see Kim Min-seok and Lee Yoo-chan strike out consecutively and get out of the crisis when they were on the verge of a crisis with one out and runners on the second and third bases.
He is a complete pitcher with the ability to reduce the number of pitches by pitching to catch the ball when there is no runner, and to concentrate in times of crisis to strike out with strong balls.
Samsung, which is chasing fifth place by half a game, is expected to be able to prepare for the leap in the second half with the strongest one-two punch.
Won Tae-in's injury cancellation was Garabito's second good pitching, which provided relief to the bench even amid the rain.
